Although some of my work is pure landscape - usually Icelandic or Scottish, I have also based a lot of work on rock climbing. As well as the geological aspect, this also includes studies of climbing figures, especially hands, climbing equipment and some of the more amusing entries in the climbing guides. Recently I have been experimenting with solar plate etching, which avoids the use of acid. Since October 2007 I have been working in the Print Room at the City and Guilds of London Art School and have created and have made a series of soft ground etchings based mainly on British mountain scenery.
