"I wonder if the sap is stirring yet, If wintry birds are dreaming of a mate, If frozen snowdrops feel as yet the sun And crocus fires are kindling one by one: Sing robin, sing: I still am sore in doubt concerning Spring" Christina Rossetti https://t.co/DDtE0AExGF
Drawing on inspiration from Scottish islands, Sunset beyond the Headlands is an imagined view. The colours in the sea mirror those in the sky to give a sense of reflected light. The headlands were printed using paper stencils and shades of indigo ink. https://t.co/USKLJzdWDl
"On the Right Path" is a hand-printed etching. I used two plates to build up the rich overlapping colours. Inspired by family trips to the seaside. Available mounted and framed. https://t.co/0q10fF98iJ
Serenity: influenced by Japanese woodcuts, this new original monotype is printed in layers of translucent ink to make the colours softly glow. Imagine the reeds moving gently in a light breeze, touched by the light as the sun goes down. Available now https://t.co/hxmJ88UXCj
Rather than a specific coastline, this image is about the joy and anticipation of approaching the sea and moving through the varied flowers and grasses along the way.

I really felt I was getting somewhere with the gold/pink/grey combination of colours in the sunset sky for this one. There's a palpable sense of warm light which was what I was striving for. What do you think of 'bathed in light'? https://t.co/2ACK3a0DOP #printmaker #onlineart
The colours and textures are carefully chosen to give the illusion of recession through space. A steady, pastel background with the boldest colours in the foreground - vibrant pinks, yellows and sea blue. A rift in the land - https://t.co/ucG4ad9ocK #landscapeartist #springtime
With this landscape, I returned to my earlier theme of seeing the landscape as a patchwork of fields. The strongly coloured foreground has a sense of the recession of plough lines but is really a great excuse for having fun with colour and pattern! https://t.co/svuaBjXOSE
People often ask me what the patterns signify. When I'm working, my focus is just on colour and pattern and creating a beautiful surface that relates to patterns in nature. By tapering the strips and drawing the trees, I can give a sense of perspective! https://t.co/Z5z9niZPpj
On the Rise: The crisp division between the intense patterns of the land and the clear cool air of the sky, reminds me of the Greek myth of Gaia (the earth) and Uranus (the sky) The trees seem to link the two realms. Original now sold #artshare https://t.co/hTZM1jyVaT
