elcome to my website. I hope you'll enjoy your visit.

   I grew up drawing and painting,  and more recently I've fallen in love with the essential simplicity of woodcut printmaking.

   My family and I live on a smallholding in North Devon, in a hidden wooded valley winding to the sea. Suzanne grows a fine garden, and I've planted plenty of cider-apple trees...

   We share our lives with our animals, and with the wild creatures all around us.  Finding inspiration is not a problem.

   In my work I am striving for a harmonious coming-together of all the elements involved: subject, tools and material. My hand & eye - and head & heart -  become  the catalyst. On a good day the hours fly by,  and I am lost in a world of line, shape, pattern and colour. If I can make it all the way to tea time without the rude awakening occasioned by the accidental meeting of knife and finger,  I may sometimes have that wonderful feeling that I am truly doing what I was put here to do.
