From Wedding Invitations to a living

I started lino printing in 2019 as a way of making my wedding invitations cheaply and ended up falling in love with the hobby. My ability, equipment, and output have much improved from its thrifty beginnings. Although, I am still working from my kitchen table which is in a constant state of chaos!

I am fascinated by animals and the natural world so the majority of my print work is wildlife based. I especially enjoy carving animals native to the countries I have lived in. I was born in the UK, raised in the Turks and Caicos and currently reside in Ireland, so I have a great mixture of temperate and tropical creatures to choose from! On particularly cold, wet, windy days I like to sit in front of a roaring fire carving little tropical creatures whilst fantasising about the warmer, drier days of my youth.
