“The interplay of light and shadow in our lives fascinates me. Light creates shadows and shadows help us appreciate the light. This has been particularly sharp for me during lockdown where the beauty of the landscape has provided light in the darkness. Being outside, in my garden, the countryside and by the sea, has kept me sane! I often take my sketchbook along with me and the drawings lead to my original, hand-pulled prints., made in my studio in Hertfordshire, looking out onto my garden.”
