Lots of wonderful prints to see at ORIGINAL PRINTS 2026 - the Royal Society of Printmakers Annual Exhibition for members is at Bankside Gallery, London (right next to Tate Modern on the Southbank) Open daily with free entry 😊 Dates: 24th April - 31st May Image: The Last of the Light (linocut)

I’ll be at Eames Fine Art (5 mins from London Bridge) on May 2nd where I’ll be discussing my latest print “April Come She Will” and the evolution of my work Talk at 11am (limited spaces – RSVP directly to the gallery) Drop in from 12:30pm if you can’t make the talk - see you there!

A trip down memory lane with this one - so long ago I barely remember it. I do know it’s a linocut of a tube station, although I can’t quite place which one, and I’m drawing a bit of a blank on the title too. Must be getting old… #linocut #londonart

Speaking as one who never misses an opportunity to shoehorn a topic into a post, and as it’s Sky Awareness Week, I’m sharing (and you may be ahead of me here) a linocut with a sky - for those of us who need to practice their awareness 🤔 ‘Storm Clouds over Whitehall’ linocut #whitehall #stjamespark

These four very long, thin linocuts are horribly difficult to print and a really awkward size to frame. Still, it seemed like an excellent idea at the time.... #londonart #linocuts

For those tyre enthusiasts out there - and I’m sure there are many of you - today, in 1923, Firestone started producing balloon-tyres for cars. Which leads neatly on to my linocut of some cars, sadly lacking, as I am, in any artwork that includes bunnies, lambs or eggs. Happy Easter everyone! 🐣

A slightly odd view from the train on the approach to Blackfriars station - you’re looking straight on at the London Eye and yet somehow the sunset is still off to the west. It’s thanks to that great loop in the Thames - there are some great views that are technically correct but a bit unexpected!

In honour of St Patrick’s Day and in the absence of anything more suitable, here is a mostly green linocut of a tube train carriage….. ☘️☘️☘️ #printmaker #linocut

This week’s progress and just one more colour to go. And which colour is this, I hear you ask - no idea but I’ll have to get a wriggle on or I’ll still be here at Christmas 😂 #Mudchute #allotments #linocut

For #valentinesday, here's my linocut 'Remember Me' - for all long lost lovers everywhere... ❤️ #blockprint #printmaking

I called this linocut, ‘The Golden Hour’ because I love that time just before sunset, when the light sometimes softens and warms and London briefly forgets it’s supposed to be grey, cold and drizzly. I’m sure I’m not the only one to pause for a moment on Blackfriars Bridge to admire that view ❤️

I started this year thinking I was going to get super organised - a week later and I really can’t be arsed So instead of a picture of my neatly filled-in wall planner, here’s a linocut of Bethnal Green gas holders instead… #ContemporaryPrintmaking #BlockPrinting

Happy New Year’s Eve to everyone! And thank you all for the support and kind comments that have warmed my rather chilly studio in this little corner of south east London over the past year - wishing you all good things for 2026! #topnine #happynewyear

Eggs, fresh bread, a cool glass of wine, and a flower to rest your eyes on ~ I like the simplicity of 17th century German still-life specialist Georg Flegel’s ‘Snack with Fried Eggs’ (1630), State Gallery Aschaffenburg

For the next two days, I plan to be flat out on the sofa, in front of the TV, with a glass of champagne continually topped up by a team of elves - well, a girl can dream… Here's hoping all your Christmas wishes come true - have a good one and see you on the other side! #HappyChristmas

Beautiful words from Margaret Atwood: “This is the solstice, the still point of the sun, its cusp and midnight, the year's threshold and unlocking, where the past lets go of and becomes the future, the place of caught breath, the door of a vanished house left ajar...” #wintersolstice #linocut

Just a little reminder that tomorrow, Friday 19th, is the last day I can post prints in time for Christmas (UK only). 🎄

So, after a lot of effing and blinding, endless cups of tea and a little bit of crying in the corner, here is my latest linocut, Hinterlight. Hope you like it! #Linocut #Printmaking #ContemporaryArt #blockprint

As usual, I’ve waited until the very last day of the month to post my linocut ‘November Rain’. Still, better late than never… #YeOldeCheshireCheese

Municipal trees lead a sad sort of life - branches over-pruned, roots constrained by concrete, the iron guards used as handy rubbish bins and, lest we forget, peed on endlessly by passing dogs. Still, nothing says #NationalTreeWeek like a London park with a few spindly trees thrown in… #linocut

I was going to post a linocut of a railway bridge for #NationalBridgeDay… But I don’t appear have done one - so here’s the old passenger footbridge at Farrington Station. Although, now I come to think of it, it might be the other sort of bridge, as in the card game kind. Oh well, too late now 😂

Here’s a great view from the passenger footbridge at Wandsworth Road Station. Sadly the gas holder was demolished to make way for blocks of flats and Battersea Power Station has been engulfed by, as I'm sure you've guessed, more flats, only now they're called luxury apartments 🫤 #printmaker #art

It's all happening for us train enthusiasts (or is it just me?) as today marks 200 years since the Stockton and Darlington Railway opened in 1825 - the birth of the modern railway. So here are some of the many railway linocuts I have done over the years - too many, I hear you say? Surely not… 😂

I have a linocut to suit every occasion - this one is called Tube Strike ☹️ #blockprint #londonprint #Londonart #linocut

I spent the summer making tiny b/w linocuts of the months, and finally printed the first six. Then came a thought (oh dear) - what if I added a little colour? Now, of course, I can’t decide - see what you think. Just when you think you’ve finished… #printmaker #linocut #blockprint #Londonartist

#InternationalDogDay rolls around again so here’s a dog taking its owner for a scenic walk down by the canal under the Westway 🐕‍🦺 #londonprint #Londonart #printmaking #linocut #blockprint #artprint

I'm dusting down this little linocut of beach huts for all of you lucky people away for the August Bank Holiday - hope it’s a good one! 😎 #beachhuts #seaside #originalprint #printmaking #blockprint #linocut

I’ve just finished a few more copies of ‘Any Given Saturday’ which are now in my shop - unfortunately what should’ve taken me a couple of weeks has taken me four months so I can’t feel all that pleased with myself 😬 #londonprint #Londonart #printmaking #linocut #blockprint

Anyone ever seen a tube carriage like this? No, me neither 😁 #citylife #urbanprint #Londonart #londonprint #printmaking #linocut

In celebration of 200 years of the railway, which I think was back in March but who’s counting, here’s a detail of my linocut of Paddington station - and the whole print being printed #Londonart #Paddington #printmaking #linocut

To say I'm working at a leisurely pace on this linocut is a bit of an understatement. Still, I think I’m happy with this version - unless I change my mind again…🤔 #blockprint #printmaking #linoprint #reliefprint

An old proof of my linocut of the Shard with the editioned print. As the original is almost sold out, I’m thinking of making a new version - experimenting with colour is so carefree as the blocks have already been cut, ready to use again… #TheShard #Londonart #printmaking #linocut #wip

Four lino blocks - interesting to see what they make when they’re printed together 😊 #LondonEye #linocut #printmaking #Londonskyline

London is sweltering and no amount of ice cream is helping - believe me, I’ve been eating heroic amounts. I’m more of a winter girl myself so here’s to cooler months, ice skating in Canary Wharf ❄️ #linocut #londonprint #Londonart #originalprints

Tube stations - an endless source of inspiration... #Balham #Londonart

Some of you may feel that there’s not much difference in any of these trial proofs and that it’s mostly me just nitpicking - well, let me tell you that yes, you’re absolutely right 😢 There’s also the favourite four (at least for now!) #originalprint #linocut #wip

It’s #InsuranceAwarenessDay today, people, and here's my linocut 'True Love on the Tube' - because that young woman is definitely thinking about her insurance needs #blockprint #printmaking #linoprint #reliefprint #printlife

Right in the middle of a sweltering hot summer seems like a good time to share my linocut ‘Winter Wonderland’ - hard to imagine it ever being that cold but it does make me appreciate the warmth! #linocut #blockprint

Well, you know I’m going to be wheeling this one out on June 21st every year as it’s called - and you may be ahead of me here - Summer Solstice 😁 #albertbridge #Thames #londonprint #Londonart

So, apparently June is #skyscrapermonth - exactly why tall buildings need their own special month is anyone’s guess but nevertheless here I am with some skyscrapers for you 😄 #blockprint #londonprint #Londonart #linocut

What fabulous weather we’re having - anyone thinking of a trip to the seaside today? Here's my linocut 'The Last to Leave' - have fun if you are! 😎 #linocut #Cromer #NorthNorfolk

Not sure if this is appropriate for #nationalbestfriendsday as the couple don’t look entirely happy but you never know….😆 #artvideo #printvideo #printmakingvideo

I called this linocut, ‘Love on the Underground’ And if finding yourself alone on an empty platform in front of an empty train isn’t romantic, I don’t know what is 😁 #linocut #blockprint #londonprint #Londonart

Another psychedelic offering from the archives - this is a colour trial of a linocut called ‘Platform One’ but sadly, which station this platform sits on, is lost in the mists of time 😁 #londonprint #Londonart #printmaking #linocut

Delighted to hear that my print ‘A Rainy Night in Soho’ has been selected for the Royal Academy Summer show this year. Looking forward to Varnishing Day! #londonartist

Another year rolls by and I have again somehow failed to include a biscuit in one of my linocuts for #nationalbiscuitday - but I’m pretty sure that those two young people are discussing whether to have a custard cream or a hobnob with their afternoon tea today ☕️🍪 #londonartist

When it comes to colour, sometimes less is more. And that’s something I never thought I’d say in public - I may have to have a quiet word with myself… #Londonart #linocut

I don’t just do trains you know! So here’s a linocut of some lovely Norfolk beach huts, to celebrate the coming bank holiday weekend - if you’re off to the seaside, have a good one! #linocut #Cromer #Norfolk #linoprint
