    "I am an artist and printmaker living in West Norfolk. After twenty-five years writing professionally, with a career in both romantic and crime fiction, I embarked on a second career as an artist, originally working with mosaic, glass, papercuts and textiles before developing my love of printmaking.

    Self-taught, I now work primarily with lino, as well as exploring block printing, and creating pop-up cards and books. I am particularly fond of the technical challenges that printmaking and paper engineering present and love the colour and texture of the raw materials as well as drawing and creating the end products.

    There is a joy in creating which is as important as the finished item. A great deal of my inspiration is drawn from nature - my garden, the beach, walking in the woods, and my pets, as well as the general chaos of domestic life."
