Original hand drawn monoprints
The Monoprint drawing (or transfer print drawing) has become my favourite way to draw a line and I’m beginning to introduce the technique into my paintings.
Created with lightfast oil paint on watercolour or coated paper, each print is made individually and therefore, with smudges and all, completely unique.
Typewriter monoprints
The Typewriter “Barely There” series of original prints take their titles from adapted lines from George Orwell’s Keep The Aspidistra Flying. The ten prints explore my struggles with social anxiety and seclusion, and how it is through artistic expression that I’ve found a voice.
The set are now on sale. Visit the shop to purchase.

Typewriter series one
The vintage typewriter holds great significance for me.
An unusual symbol of my childhood, I would lug the heavy thing around the house, every pound on the cumbersome keys reverberating through the furniture and floorboards.
I created important music reviews (probably of Adam & the Ants) for the school newspaper, a prize winning “living history” piece comprising of an interview with my Nan and the first flourishes of a screenplay when I was fifteen years old.
