Join me on my printmaking journey
About
I live in Newcastle, Australia, with my husband, Mark, and am a resident artist at The Creative Incubator.
My Practice: I focus on non-toxic techniques working in Collagraph and Mokuhanga (Japanese Woodblock). My aim is to blend traditional craftsmanship with contemporary subject matter. My approach emphasizes graphical clarity and inventive interpretation, with a focus on engaging viewers in discussions around philosophical and socio-political themes. My Mokuhanga Inspirations are: April Vollmer, Terry McKenna, Kiyoshi Saitō, Shikō Munakata, Kenji Takenaka
