I’ve always been drawn to trees—their peaceful presence and the way they interact with light and shadow. In Sunbeam Forest, I wanted to capture a quiet moment when sunlight streams through the canopy, creating soft, muted beams that shift as they pass through the trees.
This piece isn’t about anything complicated; it’s simply meant to be enjoyed. I hope it brings a sense of calm and happiness to those who look at it, offering a small moment of peace and connection to nature.
 
A reduction Lino print is made by using the same piece of Lino to print all the colours. Each time a layer is printed then more of the surface of the Lino is removed, reducing the surface area. Each me you put a layer of ink on the Lino and print it, the Lino must come into contact with the paper at the same place, otherwise the picture does not align and will not be usable. Reduction lino printing requires careful planning and precision, as mistakes cannot be easily corrected once a layer of ink has been applied. It is a time-consuming process, but the end result can be a beautiful, vibrant and layered print. I start off intending to make 10 images and usually end up with 7 or 8, but it can be less.
