"I love the world of art and
artists. I live breathe,
sleep, walk and talk art.
Note I do not eat art.
I love to use printmaking
because I think it is the most
liberating and sophisticated
of all the mediums available
to a visual artist. I like
how it makes you really
consider the nature of the
materials that you are using.
I like to sometimes use found
objects or even "ready mades".

| Why Did You Become An Artist |
I know it's a cliche but I always really deep down wanted to spend my life making art. I undertook my degree in fine art when I was 26, so I was a bit late starting. I did my masters in Fine art when I was 33 so again a little late.
I just have this 'thing' inside of me that demands to be met. It's a motivation to make visual representations connected to being alive. |

I love the world of art and artists. I live breathe, sleep, walk and talk art. Note I do not eat art.
I love to use printmaking because I think it is the most liberating and sophisticated of all the mediums available to a visual artist. I like how it makes you really consider the nature of the materials that you are using. I like to sometimes use found objects or even 'ready made's.
As far as I am concerned I can use whatever seems the best and perhaps what I should say is, the most appropriate medium or technique or materials.
My most recent works have been a printmaking installation,called ARAN which is still on show in the Dalarnas Museum in Sweden and a suite of prints called 'Elemental Traces'.
Both of these are viewable as well as a huge amount of my artwork at
