Much of my work is inspired by island life. I work across printmaking, digital print, bookmaking, collage and traditional woollen crafts like crochet and spinning. The Lundy landscape provides a natural place for ideas and creativity — sometimes these ideas drift into small pieces of work that I share here.

“Each basket is unique, shaped by what the sea leaves behind.”

As many of you know, I am a regular sea swimmer and swim all year-round in Lundy’s marine protected area.. I am aware of the impact ghost gear can have on marine life. Ghost gear refers to lost, discarded, or abandoned fishing gear like nets, lines, and rope. From these ghost gear materials I create baskets. Each basket is unique, shaped by what the sea leaves behind. For me, they act as gentle reminders to protect our marine life.

Nature Stationery — Linocut Printed Cards

“Lundy means Puffin Island in Old Norse — you can’t ignore our little clowns of the sea.”

Although Lundy is much more than puffins, you can’t ignore our little “clowns of the sea.” The name Lundy itself means “Puffin Island” in Old Norse. Between April and July, visitors often ask as soon as they arrive: Where can I see the puffins? Sometimes they even ask in September, long after the puffins have gone to sea. As a regular sea swimmer on Lundy I often swim among the seals too. I wanted to capture both in a more playful way, so I created linocuts and had them printed into cards.
