About

I love to paint in acrylics and did so exclusively for many years with a series of roses and landscapes. I also loved making the alphabet series and added some on the website, but for the last 20 years I have concentrated on printmaking using a press in my own studio. I focus more and more on the non toxic forms of printmaking, drypoint and lino, to avoid the acids and chemicals of etching.

Since 2015 I have been able to share my passion and have taught printmaking both at home in my studio and at Estuary Arts Centre, Orewa, where I am print tutor. 2024 has seen the continuation of the Open Studio policy at Estuary Arts Centre where anyone can come to learn about printmaking on Friday in Studio 1 where I will teach from 9.30 - 12 and casuals can come to use the press.

While I try to have a solo exhibition every year or so I also have organised many group shows for local Hibiscus printmakers and my students at Estuary Arts Centre (EAC). I have planned and curated many group exhibitions and attendant workshops featuring our declining wildlife. 2025 will see "Threatened", a group show.
