Can’t see the wood for the trees” the second of a series of a reduction monoprints exploring sources of anxiety. Sometimes it’s hard to see the bigger picture, giving too much time to negative thoughts and unable to put things in perspective. I’m enjoying experimenting by using the same linocut and using different colours palettes.

The Secret Postcard show is a wrap with 361 cards sold and over £7500 raised! So chuffed to have sold 7 out of 8 of my entries! So exciting to see when people bid on them and I always feel very honoured that someone wants to own my work! Thank you for those who bought them! Congratulations for a great show! Looking forward to taking part next year!

It’s not been a very creatively productive summer. A bit of a roller coaster to be honest. But I am pleased to have finished one in a series of reduction monoprints exploring the theme of anxiety. I’ve called this one “The Day The World Turned Upside Down”. I’m sure we’ve all experienced a day in our lives where an event throws everything in the air and somehow nothing will ever quite be the same. 🤍 I’m experimenting with using the same Lino plate with different colour palettes to represent different sources of anxiety. I’m happy with this one, watch this space for others coming soon x

'Missed Connection' a 5 layer reduction lino cut. It is inspired by the hundreds of encounters we have on a daily basis, some of which have an impact, yet others are fleeting and easily disregarded. Faces & no faces, black and white & colour, movement & snapshot. I'd like to say that all were planned for intelligent, well thought out reasons, but most of the variation in my printmaking is down to experimentation and hedging my bets!

You never quite know how a print will turn out but when it doesn’t go to plan it becomes a battle to get to the end! I started this print about 12 months ago, got to layer 3 and then walked away, frustrated about how it was going. But I hate unfinished business, so I finally got round to the last black layer yesterday. There’s loads I’d do differently, but I’ve proved to myself even if it’s not working out as planned, it’s always worth finishing.

Meet our friend Apollo the Cockapoo who lives a few doors up from us. This 4 layer reduction Lino print was commissioned by our neighbour as a present for his daughter. There’s only 1 real Apollo, but it was interesting printing him in different colours making him a dog of many faces, all gorgeous of course!

Although most of the leaves have gone from trees, there is incredible beauty in the woodland at winter. I love the raindrops hanging from the bare branches. This reduction print is one from last year. I loved free styling the background using rollers and spatulas to apply different colours and layers of ink to give a murky wet winter look.
