I have always sketched and painted but twenty years ago I discovered printmaking and its enormous variety of techniques, for example, mezzotint, etching and collagraph, to name just a few of the approaches I’ve tried.

Here, for example, I’m showing some of my reduction lino prints based on the South Downs which some will recognise as landmarks of their travels through the Sussex landscape.

I’ve also included a selection of mezzotints featuring other interests perhaps less instantly recognisable. Some of these mezzotints have been shown in the RA Summer Show.
