About

Printmaking

I currently live on the Central Coast of NSW with my husband, Mark, and our two Australian Mist Cats, Princess Peach and Princess Zelda.

My Practice: I focus on non-toxic techniques I work predominantly in collagraph but am expanding my practice to incorporate Mokuhanga printmaking with the aim 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
