Awards and Memberships
I am a member of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers/Royal Engravers (based at Bankside Gallery) and have served on their council. I am a member of Southbank Printmakers a collaborative of artist printmakers (based at Gabriel´s Wharf, South Bank, London).
Below are the awards I have won. I´d like to draw your attention to an award I won a few years ago - the first ever David Gluck RE Memorial Award which I was very honoured to receive. David Gluck was my tutor at St Martins. He inspired me to take up mezzotint engraving and gave me support and encouragement throughout the years.
