Artist Info

 

Whilst studying a degree in Interior Design at Edinburgh College of Art I discovered printmaking. I took it as a second subject during the degree where I decided to focus on screenprinting and etching.

After graduating I became a member of the Edinburgh Printmakers Workshop where over the last four years I have focused on printmaking and developing my skills in screenprinting and etching and building up a portfolio.

Initially during my time in art college my main inspiration was architecture and interiors. After graduating my inspiration was the Edinburgh Botanical Gardens and the Botanical Glasshouses. Through the prints I produced at this time I was able to experiment and develop my style.

Having acheived this I began working on a new series of prints which has taken me in a different direction. This new set of prints takes inspiration from the Scottish landscape. My particular interest is in compositions that incorporate dramatic skies. This allows for more abstract images in my etchings and a range of mark making in my screenprints.
Along with my prints I have recently designed a range of handmade cards. These differ from the prints as they are abstract floral designs using vibrant colours.
Both these areas allow me the opportunity to use my hobby of photography as my photos along with sketches provide me with the starting point for my prints and cards.
