Ian studied printmaking at Northampton College of Art, gaining an MA qualification in his chosen field.
Prior to becoming a professional printmaker, Ian has spent time teaching and working as a freelance designer and artist/illustrator.
Ian has had his work featured in exhibitions at the Royal Academy, the Royal Watercolour Society and several galleries around the country. Ian has also had his work reviewed by Sister Wendy fot the television programme 'Moving Art'.
Ian is an Associate of the Royal Photographic Society and a member of the Printmakers Council.
Ian says of his work;
"My work does not explore any one theme, but many. Likewise, I do not restrict myself to any one media, but consider it important to be flexible. I feel too rigid working procedures can restrict the creative possibilities within a subject.
In recent years etching has come to be my primary vehicle of expression. Many of my etchings utilise traditional techniques and processes, but a large part of my work remains experimental, continuing established traditions of the artist as a printmaker."
