I am lucky to have enjoyed both formal academic and artistic training. I graduated in theology from Oxford University and then studied further in Edinburgh, attending both the Art College and the University, gaining a Masters in Theology & Philosophy. My life as printmaker really began, however, when I joined the Edinburgh Printmakers’ Workshop. In an intensely productive period I learned the craft of etching, working alongside established artists. A visit to Sweden as a student of the Royal College of Art in 1994 was the beginning of an interest in book-making, which I further developed in a year spent working in collaboration with the Village des Arts et Métiers du Livre in the South of France (1996-7). In 1998 I moved to France and stayed there for nearly a decade before returning to Britain to live and work in Suffolk after the birth of my daughter.
