Welcome

Yorkshire Dales artist and printmaker.

Inspired by the wild outdoors, freedom and adventure.

I create unique etchings that distil the essence of landscape and my interpretation of being there, in that place and time. My etchings are hand-pulled, archival quality, signed, limited edition prints from my hand-made etching plates. I etch onto zinc or copper and usually aquatint the plates to obtain the desired tonal values.

My paintings are vibrant, atmospheric oils. I paint seascapes and racing action; mountain, moorland, forest, dale and shore.

I take commissions for paintings or etchings; please contact me directly to discuss options. I'm happy to accommodate your preferences and purpose for the artwork.

I have paintings and etchings at different times in various exhibitions, art/print fairs and the North Yorkshire Open Studios events around the county.

Original etchings (handmade prints) and original paintings are available to buy directly from this website, linked to Paypal for online purchases. Orders are despatched by me within 14 days.

Where my paintings or etchings are in exhibitions, the organisers usually control sales. Watch my news items or follow me on Instagram for details of where I am currently exhibiting!

Autumn 2026

NYOS 6 -8 November

I'm back at the Airton Friends' Meeting House again for the winter instalment of Open Studios. It's slightly shorter opening times; 11am - 4pm on Saturday and Sunday and only the one weekend, so blink and you'll miss it. There isn't an official preview on the Friday evening, so if that's when you can come, you'd be very welcome but you will find me still putting the finishing touches to my display.

I'll have paintings, etchings, cards and giclee prints to see and buy, and also displays about my artistic process. I'm number 25 in the NYOS book, on page 14. Everyone with the snowflake logo is doing the Winter Open Studios.

A big thank you to everyone that came to my Open Studios in June or the July exhibitions in St Michael's and Ampleforth Abbey!

Summer 2026

NYOS 5-7 and 13-14 June

I'm participating in the North Yorkshire Open Studios again, upstairs in the Barn at the historic Friends' Meeting House in Airton. I'm open for a preview 5-8pm on Friday 5 June (nothing like a bit of time pressure for setting up!) and then all day 10am - 5pm Saturday and Sunday for the next two weekends. I'll have displays about how I work and the etching process as well as finished artwork available to purchase.

Art in the Dale 8-12 July

I'm in the annual group exhibition at our beautiful parish church in Kirkby Malham. My work will be in the Lady Chapel, with a selection of framed and unframed etchings and also some paintings on display for you to enjoy and possibly buy.

Ampleforth Abbey 10 - 19 July

I'm one of the 65 NYOS artists showing work at Ampleforth Abbey again this year. It's a stunning setting and I'll have a selection of paintings and etchings on show.
