Alongside an earlier career in engineering, I have had a life long interest and involvement with graphic design, painting, printmaking and illustration, including work for South Hams District Council and the environmental organisation Common Ground. From 1997 to 2013 I started up and ran
Press Gang Printmakers
the print workshop based at Salcombe Art Club.
Based in Kingsbridge, South Devon, I am mainly interested in developing a personal vision, with shoreline and Dartmoor as principal motifs mostly in the medium of wood engraving.
