Are your art prints handmade?

Yes, I sell original, handmade prints of flowers.

​

You are a printmaker - what method of printing do you use to make your prints?

I make all my original flower prints using silkscreen printing. The particular method of silkscreen printing I use is with paper cut stencils, so the whole process is handmade. I draw the flowers by hand, then cut stencils out of paper by hand, and personally pull the ink through the screen by hand for each colour of the print.

​

Do you have your own art studio?

Yes, all my drawing and printing is done in my garden studio in Kent, UK.

​

Why do you use the paper cut printing method?

I have always loved the hands-on element of this printing method. Silkscreen printing can be done by fixing an image to a screen with photo emulsion. This can be any image, hand drawn or digital. However, I love the element of craft and creativity in cutting the paper stencils, and the physicality of the ink going through this stencil. I also love the way you can see the edge of the ink on the paper where it has come through the stencil. It is hands-on and physical at each and every stage of the process and involves many elements of creativity.

​

Are your prints made in the UK?

Yes, all my art prints are made in my garden studio in Kent. I use paint made by a British company to make my print colours.

​

Do you use British print paper?

Sadly not at the moment. The paper I currently use is Italian, but when this runs out I plan to transition to British-made print paper.

​

Do you offer a framing service?

Yes, if you have framing requirements in mind please get in touch and I can give you a quote to supply framed artwork.

I use a company based in the West Midlands for framing established in 1992  who offer competitive prices and a wide range of framing options.
