I am an artist and printmaker based in Galloway. My work is based on drawing, recording the landscape across the seasons. Sketchbooks inform my work allowing me to develop my on-site observations into etchings, lithographs, or larger pen and ink paintings.

What to expect: Work on display will include recent paintings in watercolour, pen and ink, a wide range of editioned etchings –some hand-coloured – lithographs and monoprints. Sketchbooks and visual information on techniques and working methods will be displayed, along with my etching press, tools and printing plates.
