Background
Graduating from
Art College at the end of the 1970’s, I spent many years working with
severely damaged and excluded people – drug and alcohol dependent,
homeless - which has influenced me deeply and my art reflects my
admiration for the beauty and resilience of the human body.
Artist's Statement
My work
unashamedly centres on drawing from life and many of my drawings form
the basis for printmaking. In an age where many seek to alter their
looks artificially, wiping the hard-won marks of their lifelong
endeavours from their faces and bodies, I revel in scrutinising the
human figure and reflecting the experiences written all over it.
I
work mainly with the three colour separation monotype technique,
producing unique pieces, which unlike many other printmaking techniques
cannot be reproduced as an edition. I draw directly from life and then
use these original drawings as inspiration for my prints. Each monotype
also produces a ‘ghost’ which forms the basis of further work with oil
pastels.
