FAQs

How long have you been drawing for?

In total, around 3 years. Like most people, I drew occasionally as a child. I loved drawing but getting me to actually sit down and draw was an entirely different thing as I had quite an array of hobbies.

After leaving school at 18, I barely drew again until I reached my mid-thirties - I had one bash over a six month period before giving it up, and then again a few years later, only this time I kept going!

Do you only work in pen and ink?

I love working in so many different media but have chosen to mainly focus on ink for the next few years at least so I can really develop my skills in line and value. I do also occasionally work in ink mixed with watercolour but I tend to reserve this for quick sketches.  

What's the difference between a giclée print, a linoprint and a regular print?

Giclée prints are also known as fine art prints. They are more expensive than regular prints as they are professionally printed on high quality and archival acid-free paper. Giclée prints can last for up to 200 years when kept in complete darkness, but as I assume you'll want yours to be on display, keep behind glass in a frame and you can enjoy the print for up to 80 years without discoloration! 

Linoprints differ in that they are a unique pieces of artwork and have a maximum print run. Once I reach the limit for that edition, no more can be printed (with the exception of prints on fabric and greetings cards). Each linoprint is hand-pressed from a block, resulting in slight differences.

Can I commission you for a piece of artwork?

I do accept commissions if they have a predominantly nature-based theme as being passionate about the subject matter has an impact on the overall piece. Please email me to have a chat about what you're looking for.

Do you sell at craft fairs?

Not yet, though it is in the pipeline! I'm hoping to feature at a couple of fairs during 2020. Keep an eye on my Latest News to see where I'll be.

Yes. You can find detailed shipping information here, together with prices.
