I create original handmade prints from wood or lino blocks of images inspired by the natural world.
Original relief prints of endangered species
I live and work in York, close to the North York Moors and the North Sea, and love venturing to all parts of the UK to connect with nature and the outdoors and draw on it for a feeling of connection and creativity. In my work I enjoy working with narratives and stories, and try to involve perspectives regarding our responsibilities in protecting and supporting the natural environments around us and the species that depend on them for their survival.
The Green turtle is one of the largest sea turtles and the only herbivore among the different species. Named for the greenish colour of their cartilage and fat, and not in fact their shells, they are classified as endangered, green turtles are threatened by overharvesting of their eggs, hunting of adults, being caught in fishing gear and loss of nesting beach sites.

The Amur Leopard is native to southeastern Russia and northern China, and is listed as critically endangered. Hunting and habitat loss due to unsustainable logging, forest fires, farming and industrial development have driven this big cat to the edge of extinction, but recent conservation work seems to have had a positive effect, with numbers believed to have increased, though still only to under 100 in the wild.

The Galapagos penguin is the only penguin species found north of the equator and in the Galápagos. With approximately 800 breeding pairs left the species is threatened by pollution, bycatch and climate change. Introduced species, such as dogs, carry diseases that can spread to penguins as well, and cats pose a threat as predators. Past strong El Niño events have caused mortalities of up to 77 percent.

The Ring-Tailed Lemur is endangered in the wild, and it's population numbers are currently decreasing primarily due to the destruction of it's native habitat. Found only on the island of Madagascar, the Ring-Tailed Lemur, along with the other 100 types of lemur, are the most threatened mammal group on the planet and up to 95% of lemur species are threatened with extinction.
