I will be participating in Six Days of Art in Teignbridge, South Devon this May and June. Six Days of Art is an open studios event from Saturday 29 May to Monday 31 May and from Friday 4 June to Sunday 6 June. It will be launched with an Opening Showcase of selected large, high-end works at the Rill Estate nr Buckfastleigh.

Visit a home gallery and working studio with two floors of work and an impressive Victorian printmaking press. I’ll have a full range of framed and unframed work available. Please contact me for more information.

This poor bittern probably requires a background of some reeds to hide in. I’m going to cut a second block for the background and print it in an olive green colour.

No cutting today, just a trip to the laundrette, tidying up, hoovering, cooking and ironing. This image was part of a series of domestic images I cut for a book called Washday Whites.

This image has been hanging about in my head for years. I finally got round to cutting it. My tools are a bit blunt at the moment, so it’s quite a rough cut, but I think it works quite well.

This handsome Heron came out well. During the process of stylising the birds they seem to develop very distinct personalities. It was great to try out a range of cutting techniques for the different feathers.
