I'm a printmaker from Wales, working from my seaside home studio in Swansea.
With a background in digital design, I discovered a passion for printmaking after joining the Swansea Print Workshop two years ago. Here, you can find a selection of my latest prints and creative projects.

The Miners Project
MINERSIMPRINT is a collaboration between Swansea University and Swansea Print Workshop to celebrate the South Wales Miners’ Library's 50th anniversary.
My design, ‘Sweet and Bitter’ has received multiple accolades, is part of the collections of the National Libraries of the UK and Ireland, and has been exhibited in art galleries across South Wales.
"...Twisting sideways under the roof of coal, I thought of sunlight a thousand feet up, and Bron, her hair shining, pegging out the washing."
More about the project and design processes coming soon…

Mini Print Wales
Over the summer, I volunteered with the artist workshops, taking on the creative challenge of producing prints within a 10cm x 10cm format.
I created a series of works, which have since been exhibited at the Royal Cambrian Academy of Art and the Mission Gallery.
More details about the project and my design process will be shared soon…
