Scottish Printmaker and Illustrator bringing your ideas to life

Bringing the outdoors in… A printmaking studio creating illustration, original prints and pieces for the home - working from my garden studio in the North East of Scotland.

ABSORBING THE OUTDOORS THROUGH PRINTMAKING 

Using a variety of traditional painting and drawing techniques I create colourful storytelling works to adorn the home, business or online platform.

The surrounding Scottish countryside and nature are big influences in my practice - combining colour, pattern and form to create the image.

I have a selection of really lovely clients I have worked with over the years - have a look on my portfolio page to check out some previous works.

handwritten font 'Illustration' in orange stylized text with a drawn pencil

Drawn, by hand, using pens, pencils, wax crayons, sometimes edited on my iPad using Procreate - the point is it’s all by hand - my eye to the page. Completely unique to every artist.

handwritten font sign says 'giclee print' in orange with scanner drawing

Any original artworks can be preserved if you like, as a giclee (digital print). So if i create a drawing with raw materials, and love the idea of making it into a ‘print’ ie; creating multiples - then I scan in, and get printed through a printing company.

handwritten font 'Lino block print' in orange pencil, with drawn brayer

Hand drawn, hand carved and printed with ink on my wooden printing press. Every print is unique in that it has been printed by a human, not a computer. One lino block can be printed for many many years!

Working from lightest colour to darkest, this is a multi-colour lino print printed and carved in progressive layers - only using one block the whole time. This making these prints limited edition.

I am a Printmaker based in the North East of Scotland. I create block prints and block printed handmade lampshades. My carving style creates pattern in my work, simplifying the usual detail from a landscape. I use traditional printmaking methods I learned at Gray’s School of Art and combine with contemporary pieces for the home.  

​I work from my home studio in Elgin with an assortment of tools I have collected over the years including my wooden A3 Hand Printing Press. I enjoy walking and exploring the British coastlines and Scottish hills, fuelling my printmaking inspirations.  

I am a full time Mum to two gorgeous kids alongside my art practice, learning as I go!
