My linocuts, drawings and other artworks are almost always inspired by the things around me, most notably the North Wales landscape.

Reduction linocutting is one of the most complex and intriguing forms of relief printmaking - it requires having to work with a reversed sketch or drawing, being able to envisage multiple layers of tone and colour, all whilst working toward a final image which exists only in my head.
I exhibit at Galeri in Betws-y-Coed, The Royal Cambrian Academy in Conwy, The Attic Gallery in Swansea, Sea Pictures Gallery in Clare, Suffolk, Contemporary Six in Manchester, Fosse House Gallery in Dunchurch and For Arts Sake, Printmaker's Gallery in London.
The reduction process involves using a single block of lino which is progressively cut away for each layer of colour. As the block is essentially destroyed during the process, a reduction print can never be reprinted, making it (and guaranteeing) a truly limited edition.
