I am a printmaker based in County Down, Northern Ireland. I'm inspired by the countryside where I live along with gorgeous gardens and beautiful landscapes I see on my travels in Ireland and Britain.
I'm best known for my images of trees, gardens and wildlife printed in black on locally sourced Irish linen and all the Algan Arts greetings cards that go with them.
I also make hand stitched collages of my linocuts and wood cuts printed on vintage Irish linen.
I've always loved art and craft and have been making lino cuts since I was in primary school!
Now I use my Victorian cast iron press to create my linen prints combining this classic fabric with contemporary design.
