As a printmaker, I create vibrant limited edition screen prints suitable for any home. Featuring natural media mark-making and overprinting, I create prints filled with all sorts of coastal features, as well as nature, wild animals, trees and flowers.

About John

I started printing in 2015. After working as a graphic designer and illustrator with Aspergers for 20 years, I decided to make a move to working for myself creating entirely new series of prints and homewares.

My first series was a set of linocuts called Winter Drifts. Since then I have created the Sleeping Animals series and the Majestic Animals series and now many more.

I also have a lifelong love of the coast and especially Cornwall and have created an ongoing series of prints called Safe Harbour. I have long been inspired by places which are special to me, places which are off the beaten track or which instill the feeling of having discovered somewhere secret. I began to realise that I could create, in print form, representations of these special, secret and safe places in a way which might bring some calm to my life and even perhaps others.

I also work in collaboration with my creative partner and wife, Alice, to print fabrics which are turned into purses and cases.

I enjoys experimenting with natural media mark making and the marks that can be made with block printing. I also enjoy the graphical boldness and overprinting possibilities of screenprinting combined with creating textures for screenprinting by monoprinting ink and scraping it or rollering it.
