“Working at home in a small studio, I have my own press to make monotypes, drypoints, linocuts, woodcuts etc. The medium is chosen to suit the subject and the eventual setting for the piece, if it is known.

“Walking in the countryside around my home provides much of the material for my prints and drawings. The particular landscape of the South Hams is a recurring theme for my drypoint engravings and woodcuts. I enjoy the way the land seems fitted together from its various elements, the trees, hedges and fields, rather like a jigsaw puzzle.”
