The theme of my current body of work is By the Sea. I have been working on this theme since 2019. There was supposed to be an exhibition of the work in 2021, but that did not happen due to Covid.
Now, mid-way through 2022, everything is finally complete and ready for an exhibition at the Firestation Print Studio from August 10 – 27th.

The work is a mixture of prints, drawings and paintings as always. The paintings are in oils and incorporate string. The drawings are simple HB pencil, worked up and back in layers, and with the aid of a pencil eraser. I did a series of small monoprints during our various Lockdowns and the other prints are collagraphs or linocuts incorporating watercolour or coloured pencil.

Once again, the works are referenced from photos I take when out walking. Many of the references this time were from photos around Inverloch and Lorne.
