I’m truly grateful to have seen so many visitors these past few weeks and I’d like to thank you for supporting my small business…supporting me.

Photos and sketches of this little beauty are a starting point for a new reduction linocut print. After the outcome of my Rudbeckia woodcut I was determined to do another cone flower using Lino. Here is the start… Thanks for taking a peek. More to follow as the idea develops. Meanwhile, take a look in…

Finding Peace

This is one of three large paintings from my Whispering Reflections series As the light plays across the surface in my studio, I realise that this static image doesn’t do the image justice. How easy it would be at this point to wrap it up and pack it away. Yet I understand that I am…
