It has taken me many years to have the confidence to call myself a ‘Printmaker’ - years of pursuing other creative pastimes which seemed easier to fit in around work and family life.

In the colder months, it’s easy to neglect, forget or put off looking after your garden. And it’s understandable, especially with the drop in temperature and sunlight that the winter months bring. 

But, for many homeowners, the garden is your pride and joy. In fact, the average Brit spends more than 2000 days gardening in their life, and it can add as much as 20% to the value of a home. Your garden could be the reason you purchased a house in the first place, and where you plan to host friends and family for next year’s sports spectacular when the Olympics, Euro Championships and Wimbledon all come back around.
