Welcome to printmaking!                                                                                                                                                             Something I've always been passionate about! 
My printmaking journey began as an illustration student at UoG in 2008, when I spent many hours in the print room, experimenting with all types of printing. Since 2013, I facilitated many printmaking workshops, including University of Gloucestershire and Worcester.                                                                               In 2024, I worked with the Polish community in Cheltenham and Gloucester.                                                  Through various printmaking workshops, we produced a patchwork of experiences and stories of migrations.  Our work was exhibited at the Gloucester Cathedral in September 2024.     
                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Commercially, I also paint murals in public spaces, and some of you might know me from the work I did at Kibou Japanese Kitchen and Bar, which started in Cheltenham in 2013, and with whom I've been working since.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                

In July 2024, I travelled to JAPAN, to learn beautiful MOKUHANGA technique.

I can’t stop thinking about the magical time I spent there, learning traditional Mokuhanga skills.                  My mind still drifts away through the green woodlands, parks and gardens I visited, listening to cicadas and nature, drawing, sketching in blistering heat, hiding in shadows, and enjoying the silence far away from home. But it felt like home for six weeks, which I thoroughly enjoyed and explored.                                                                                                                                                                                         I came back with new energy and ideas and want to focus on printing and sharing with it you through series of small and affordable workshops.

MOKUHANGA is a traditional Japanese water-based woodblock printing technique, which is much more eco-friendly than its Western tradition, doesn't require heavy machinery for printing, and can produce a very delicate, watercolour-like imagery. Below, you can see some examples.
