The work I do is a combination of visual communication and personal expression. I use humour/satire to convey my ideas. I enjoy the challenge and craftsmanship involved in the mezzotint engraving technique. Ironically, due to the laborious nature of this intaglio printing technique, I found that it helps to develop my ideas relating to the daily grind of work, home, work, home.
