Last updated on May 18, 2022
I’m an independent printmaker creating original linocut prints from my studio in rural Cumbria. I totally love printmaking and would do it all day, every day if I could. My ancestors had a print business and I think ink runs in the veins in my family. One of my favourite sayings is ‘cut me and I bleed ink’, though in reality I probably just have permanently filthy looking inky fingernails!

The inspiration for my work is drawn from myths, legends and fairy tales, the numerous books I read, vintage illustrations, and ideas that just pop into my head when I least expect it.

My images are combined with stylised text to send an empowering message to the viewer.

From initial idea to finished print may take weeks, or months, possibly even years! The first design, often a hurried sketch on a scrap of paper, may undergo numerous changes within a sketch book until it becomes suitable to transform into a linocut print. The lino blocks often take several days to carve, during which time the design may continue to alter as it becomes apparent that what was initially designed doesn’t quite hit the mark, or simply won’t work in lino. Eventually, once the block is completed, a proof can be pulled, with a combination of excitement of seeing the image for the first time, and utter terror that it might have gone horribly wrong wasting endless hours of hard work!

The prints are all hand-inked and hand-burnished with a baren or a wooden spoon, so no two prints are completely identical, but it is this uniqueness that is one of the delights of this type of printmaking, and what makes each individual print so special.

Shipping

All items are carefully wrapped for posting. Great care is taken to ensure anything you order arrives in perfect condition.

Prints will be wrapped in acid free tissue. The other packaging I use may be recycled card. This doesn't mean I don't care about your order, it means I care about the environment and reuse or recycle wherever I can!

Buyers are responsible for any customs or inport taxes that may apply. I'm not responsible for any delays due to customs.

I will do my best to get your order shipped as soon as possible after I receive it. Please allow extra time for shipping during busy periods, such as Christmas, as delays in the mail could mean it takes longer for you to receive your order.

Additional policies and FAQs

See each individual listing for more details on materials used.

As with all original artworks, exposure to strong sunlight will fade colours over a period of time. To keep your print in good condition please choose a hanging position out of constant, direct sunlight.

Prints are supplied unframed. It is wise to have your print framed professionally, with a mount to ensure the glass does not touch the surface of the print. This will ensure the embossed nature of the print is retained.

Both prints and cards are produced and stored in a pet and smoke free studio/home.

Privacy

This Privacy Policy describes how and when I collect, use, and share information when you purchase an item from me, contact me, or otherwise use my services through Etsy.com or its related sites and services.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that I do not own or control, including Etsy or any third party services you access through Etsy. You can reference the Etsy Privacy Policy to learn more about its privacy practices.

Information I Collect:
To fulfill your order, you must provide me with certain information (which you authorised Etsy to provide to me), such as your name, email address, postal address, payment information, and the details of the product that you’re ordering. You may also choose to provide me with additional personal information (for a custom order), if you contact me directly.

Why I Need Your Information and How I Use It:

When you have provided your affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time, such as by signing up for my mailing list;
If necessary to comply with a legal obligation or court order or in connection with a legal claim, such as retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law; and
as necessary for the purpose of my legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as 1) providing and improving my services. I use your information to provide the services you requested and in my legitimate interest to improve my services; and 2) Compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use. I use your information as necessary to comply with my obligations under the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use.

Information about my customers is important to my business. I share your personal information for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances, as follows:

Etsy. I share information with Etsy as necessary to provide you my services and comply with my obligations under both the Etsy Seller Policy and Etsy Terms of Use.
Service providers. I engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to my shop, such as delivery companies. I will share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these services.
Compliance with laws. I may collect, use, retain, and share your information if I have a good faith belief that it is reasonably necessary to: (a) respond to legal process or to government requests; (b) enforce my agreements, terms and policies; (c) prevent, investigate, and address fraud and other illegal activity, security, or technical issues; or (d) protect the rights, property, and safety of my customers, or others.

Change, restrict, delete. You may also have rights to change, restrict my use of, or delete your personal information. Absent exceptional circumstances (like where I am required to store data for legal reasons) I will generally delete your personal information upon request.
Object. You can object to (i) my processing of some of your information based on my legitimate interests and (ii) receiving marketing messages from me after providing your express consent to receive them. In such cases, I will delete your personal information unless I have compelling and legitimate grounds to continue using that information or if it is needed for legal reasons.
Complain. If you reside in the EU and wish to raise a concern about my use of your information (and without prejudice to any other rights you may have), you have the right to do so with your local data protection authority.
