The pictures shown are Monoprints or mixed media.

|
From an early age the colours, shapes, symmetry, and stages of development of plants and flowers have inspired me.
|
|
|
|
The marks created with Monoprinting are characteristically different from those drawn or painted directly onto paper. |
|
I am also inspired by textiles, especially the manipulation of, and application of surface colour and pattern.
|
|
|
A variety of tones and textures can be created, therefore an almost textile quality can be achieved. No two prints are alike, although images can be similar. |
|
Currently I am exploring this through Monoprinting as this media encourages spontaneity, and is a combination of printmaking, drawing and painting.

I find vintage textile designs, especially those of the 1950's, particularly interesting. This is reflected in some of my work. |
