Linocut Around March time the sound of the frog signals the return of Spring. Strange as it may seem though, my own pond plays host to a solitary frog. Heard but never seen, his hearty 'croak' has yet to bring forth a mate - maybe next year!

Linocut I love to capture the beauty, power and grace that can only be found in the animal (humans included) kingdom. Relief printmaking is my preferred medium as I love how changing blocks around and using different colour combination and techniques can offer so many variations of a single image.

Linocut I love to capture the beauty, power and grace that can only be found in the animal kingdom, humans included. The interchangeability of the relief blocks and colours enables me to vary the moods of my subjects in a way that most other art mediums don't allow.

Drypoint Koalas are one of the most recognised animal icons of Australia. Sadly, these beautiful animals are in danger of extinction due to much clearing of their native bushland for urban development. This guy was found napping amongst the trees, no doubt after enjoying a meal of Eucalyptus leaves.

Since the seventies, I've watched in disgust and dismay as logging and clear-felling of our native forests have decimated the habitat of the Leadbeater's Possum, pushing these little guys towards extinction. Their 'home' is now reduced to two small pockets in Central Victoria - where the annihilation continues.

Etching with sugar lift - hand painted bees I have recently become a natural bee keeper here at the Abbey so my passions have increased: printmaking, painting, prayer and bees. I hope in these contemporary works the vulnerability of the bees in our ecology can let us take special care of what we plant and spray in our gardens, mindful that whatever is in the garden ends up in the hive and in our honey. Let's keep it healthy.

Reduction linocut This year I have set myself the challenge of doing a perfect edition of 10 prints for Animalia. I set myself the task of doing 10 editions and then selecting the one I liked best to send. However, it has taken me until now to get an edition that I was happy with. I have some wonderful prints but didn't achieve a full edition until just this week. I'm thankful that the deadline was extended. I've learnt so much from doing this.

'Seagull' Linocut My appreciation for printmaking is deeply rooted in the process involved with creating and hand-pulling prints and the inherent quality of the print. The process of printing, full of quirks and unpredictability from start to finish contributes to the uniqueness of the print. My photographs offer me inspiration to adapt and develop into images to print.

'Hippocampus' Drypoint I was walking on the beach one blustery Autumn day last year when I spotted a number of these beautiful little creatures washed up onto the pebbles. The colour was so vibrant, the patterns so intricate the design so clever, a reminder of the ability of the natural world to inspire and create awe.
