Is it human nature to see horizons and faces? Every time I try for abstract or semi abstract, I end up with an horizon.

You're supposed to keep your burnishing tools as clean as a whistle. Hmmm. This baren has seen a lot of prints that's all I can say. There's something comfortable about an old battered tool though. A nice patina of age (and dirt!). I use this for burnishing virtually all my prints unless I use my hands or fingertips, and it still works fine.

I'm loving this acid yellow/green at the moment. Just a little pop of it makes all the other colours sing.

Ever want to do something just because you shouldn't? Despite a tiny studio, hardly any time and nowhere to store or sell my work currently, I have an urge to make really big pieces. Just me being contrary no doubt. Perhaps something to do with feeling restricted and hemmed in.

'There are things you can't reach, but you can reach out to them, and all day long. The wind, the bird flying away. The idea of God. And it can keep you busy as anything else, and happier.' Quote of the week from Mary Oliver. Again, she hits the nail on the head, as far as making art's concerned.

My well worn tools of the trade. Rollers are all you really need to buy new if you want to have a go at simple hand printing. These days you can get them at a very reasonable price from most art shops. These are my favourites- the good ones will last you years. I roll the ink out for all my hand monoprints with these- hopefully they'll last me a bit longer- they've molded to my hands now!

I'm always searching for spaciousness. In my house, my mind, my life, my art. Now more than ever.

Ancient peoples seemed to be very good at glamorising violence. Particularly the Anglo Saxons. Who wouldn't want to go flying into battle with a garnet and gold sword hilt and brooch?

A little part of me falls in love with each piece I make (I'm sure that's what keeps me going) so it's lovely to receive a photo from a happy customer of a print nestled in it's new home.
