I spend my days teaching people printmaking at Leeds College of Art and I also design patterns for giftwrap, cards, books and one off prints from the confinds of my studio. I can get rather giddy over a piece of nice paper or a super cute print and I seem to have developed an unhealthy obsession for linocuts of late - who'd of thought!

I'm a big fan of rummaging around in junk shops, fueling my obsession for old vinyl, shiny things and unusually shaped 70's chairs. I'm fond of a good book although I'm not very good at finding the time to read many. It has been said that I walk very quickly. When the mood takes me I like to dabble in nights of gin induced dancing and a gig or two never goes amiss either. I'm a pretty good cook. When I'm bored I like to potter in my garden, growing vegetables or, if it's raining, listen to old vinyl and drink fancy tea from one of my many vintage tea sets!
