I was a painter, curator and lecturer in art schools for over 20 years. I became short of time once I started my company Blue Patch; however this has been good as I change my relationship to painting and now enjoy not being 100% focused on art. Producing art with a low price is important to me, making it accessible to a wider audience.

I am now making very small paintings on paper using water-based gouache paint. I like this medium as it has a low environmental impact and no micro-plastics. These small paintings are scanned at high resolution and reproduced as high quality pigment prints by Christ Clack. I don't sell the original paintings because the final print is done on very nice paper and the pigment print is saturated in colour and sits on the surface of the paper - so the printed object is the actual work - the original gouache is a first proof. The prints can be a set and sold in an archival box or individually. Prints fit is readily available frames, from A5 - A1, and also make collectible gifts. Extra large prints can be made on request.

My studio is powered on 100% green energy. It's in the attic of my house and I am embarking on a retrofit which includes upgrading the insulation in the attic above my studio. My heating is currently gas, however the retrofit will incorporate solar and ASHP.

I would like to have an exhibition but first I have to experiment with the scale of the prints.
