I studied printmaking at Gray's School of Art, Aberdeen, graduating with an M.A. in 1996.  Printmaking consists of several media including:  Etching, Screen printing, Linocut, Woodcut, Lithography.  I specialised in Linocut (partly because the building opposite the college was throwing away a lino floor, so I got my materials for nothing!) and in 1995 was fortunate enough to buy my own printing press.  Websites have since got in the way of Printmaking, but I hope to start building up a body of work to exhibit in the future.

My favourite discipline is drawing, especially life drawing - although it's pretty difficult to get a life model when you live in a small rural community!  So I tend to draw animals instead.  My work has always been centred around animals, not just for their shapes but also looking at how we interact with them within a modern lifestyle that takes us further and further away from the natural world.
