I am an artist printmaker based in Hove, UK who works in the mediums of linocut and black ink drawing. I am inspired by subjects around the themes of birds, nature and architecture and I like to create bold, linear images through detailed mark making. My love of printmaking as a medium means that all of my prints are in limited editions. Each print has been individually printed on my press and will be slightly different to others in its edition and I like to print onto select beautiful Japanese papers. I also make a range of other linoprinted merchandise, take a look in my shop!

I have an artistic background, having specialised in art subjects all throughout school and college and graduating in Fine Art: Painting at Bath Spa University in 2008 but I am a self-taught printmaker. I started working for a specialist art supplies company called Lawrence Art Supplies in 2012 and I honestly feel like I’ve learnt more about art from working there than I did through studying it! I discovered my love of lino almost by accident - I wanted to learn more about the materials that I was selling as part of my job and I fell in love with the process as soon as I tried it.

I launched Lawrence Printmaking Club in 2018, where I have created a space for printmakers to have access to presses and printmaking facilities and I teach beginners linocutting workshops there too, see ‘Print Club’ and ‘Linocutting Workshops’ for more info.

As well as being an artist and running Print Club, I am also a curator of exhibitions and I put on shows twice a year as part of Artists Open Houses; see ‘The Studio Gallery’ for more info.

In 2019, my linocut ‘Eastbourne’ was selected for the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, which is still to this day my biggest achievement to date!

As well as online and at local exhibitions like my own Artists Open House, I sell my work in a few different galleries and shops in the UK too:

Don't Walk Walk (Deal, Kent)

Ink & Page (Bridport, Dorset)

Shop Ormus (Abedour, Fife)

Mill Tye (Sudbury, Suffolk)
