Figurative Etchings and Engravings
All works are based upon my own thoughts and observations, some are sketched directly from life with a model others are developed from my imagination. I like to experiment with different drawing media to try and achieve a particular look or feel. Recently I have introduced more background textures to help compliment some of the strong graphic lines. Other images work equally as well with just a few simple lines, less is more.

Each print is individually hand made by myself, works are presented against dark backgrounds to show deckle edge of the papers.
Picture details are included below each image.
'The Pensive Selima Reclined'
'The Pensive Selima Reclined'

Original etching with aquatint by Carl March.
One plate, one coloured ink and watercolour tinting.
Printed and painted on Somerset cream paper.
Image size 16.0 x 27.0 cm.
Approximate paper size 28.0 x 38.0 cm.
Edition size 75 plus 10 artists proofs.
Exhibited at Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition 2009.
Available with bespoke presentation mount £175.

Sketched directly onto a copper plate with a brush and sugar-lift solution, then acid etched using traditional intaglio techniques.
Attracted to the composition of the figure lying on her side, especially pleased with the finished work showing the bold lines against the delicate background.
Title was inspired by a Thomas Gray poem, whilst the poem's content is very different, the title perfectly suits the image.
