My passion for etching originates from initially studying under the tutelage of my father, a traditional and prolific etcher. Later I studied at Ipswich Art School and then at Goldsmiths College London. Having travelled extensively with my family throughout Europe and Australia, working predominantly in pen and ink on a variety of projects including design work, portraiture and illustrated publications. I rediscovered the richness and excitement of etching in the early 80’s whilst working with Petre Herel in France. On returning to England I have never looked back and my love of the etched line is undiminished.
