✨Starfish✨
A bit of a sentimental story about a star who becomes a starfish. If you’ve got eagle eyes you might notice that my North Star print is the same as the top middle panel, that’s because this print has been quite a long time in the making!

Hello! I’ve been rewriting my artist biography this week (🥴) as well as taking some photos of myself in the studio (😩), so I thought it was maybe time again to say hello, and to introduce myself to those of you who may not know much about me. I’m also trying to pay a bit more attention to Instagram again, which I’ve neglected a bit over a busy summer.

I’m a self taught printmaker from Northern Ireland, but I live in Edinburgh. Edinburgh is my favourite city in the whole world, though I’m not normally a city person. I went to Edinburgh University and studied History of Art, and fell in love with the city then. I spent 6 years in London after university, but found my way back to Edinburgh in 2021, where I’ve been for the last 5 years.

After picking up printmaking in 2020, I’ve been full time printmaking for the past 3 years now, and I’m honestly so grateful to be here and able to make this work. This year has been the busiest yet, though the balance has definitely been off, and I’m trying to work out how to get more time to actually make art and not just sell it!

My work is quite illustrative, the places are based on memories and my imagination, and I like to explore the familiarity of objects and everyday life. I try to approach my work with a sense of humour, and try not to take it too seriously.

I’m always happy to answer any questions you might have for me, and I plan to be sharing more new work very soon!

Thanks so much for being here, 3 years down and many many more to go! ☺️

Super Seconds! Aka big discounts on prints with little mistakes.

This weekend I’m taking part in Sophie & Abby | Super Seconds Festival again! I’ve got fewer prints available this time but there’s some good prints to be had for 50% (or more) off!

Check Mate and Gardeners seconds, as well as some one offs that I created for my bandanas, and some old prints that just haven’t sold but have nothing wrong with them.

I’ll be sending out an email on Saturday morning with a link and all the information, but follow Sophie & Abby | Super Seconds Festival for more information and check out their website for loads of other amazing makers who are taking part!

Only available to UK and US customers on my website but if you’re in the EU send me a message at the weekend if there’s anything you want!

A digital illustration of Minnow for my save the date card.

Sometimes it’s so refreshing to do something different. Had a great time with some True Grit Texture Supply watercolour brushes making a save the date on Procreate. This is not an ad haha I just genuinely thought they were great!

Lessons my prints have taught me. Any other lessons you’d add?

Lino North is open! 🎉

I went down to Newcastle on Friday for the opening night of the The Biscuit Factory Gallery Autumn preview, which includes the Lino exhibition. What an amazing space, and the team have done a fantastic job of hanging the work of 16 print makers. Laura Boswell ARE has brought her beautiful press to the gallery as well!
Thank you Laura, Ben and Sam for all your work and I’m so happy to be a part of it. I also got a nice little red dot on one of my prints which was a lovely start! ☺️
The exhibition will be on until the 29th November.

Check out the website for full details of the schedule which includes demonstrations and workshops, I’ll be back on Friday 25th and Saturday 26th, for a sold out workshop and on Saturday I’ll be in the gallery for chats about all things print!
