Art will out in the end. I spent a career designing and making creative outputs for other people: companies; charities; educators; the state. Sex education materials, corporate presentations, information graphics. When the corporate world became stressful I wrote and drew satirical comics to amuse my equally stressed colleagues.

Now I make art to carry my own message, as cryptic as that may be. All my previous existences provide me with the tools to make it.

I print because print surprises me. Each stage in the process, each set of tools make different marks, introduce their own accidents. And then the final image, the mirror of the one I’ve been working on. This is the joy of printing.
