Daisy Daisy Daisy


 Daisy Daisy Daisy

A lino based monoprint built from many layers of colour 

added by cutting pieces of lino and individually printing all the pieces. 

A monoprint is described as a print with a preworked plate which has been added to, 

a monotype is a print with no pre-cutting or working on the printing plate, made just using a plain

piece of plastic or board, with colour brushed or rolled on and worked into.

Cromer Artspace 'Colour' exhibition


 Winter Umbels

I'm delighted to say this monoprint has been selected for the Cromer ArtSpace autumn exhibition called - 'Colour'

statement - Colour choice matters hugely, sometimes I instantly know the colours for a print, also I can endlessly add and block colour as with ‘Winter Umbels’ which has a monoprinted base with added layers.  I wanted cool tones to resonate with winter but also that odd moment of warmth when spotting an autumn leaf or sunset glow. A colour clash can give an unexpected thrill in the print, waking it up

Exhibition starts on the 29th September till the 18th October,

Southwold, Sailor's Reading Room

A recent lino print, I'm getting lot's of new lino prints ready for an exhibition in September at the wonderful Craftco in Southwold. Craftco is particuarly good for a printmaker as work is all original with not a giclee (photocopy of an original) print in view. They have lots of caft made locally, hand felted coats, jewellery and very fine ceramics to name a few.

A Still August Day 

A sunprint  of plants collected in August, with the addition of lino butterflies.

Colour is really important to me, mixing and softening by overprinting many plates of a limited colour pallette.
