Visiting Orkney and especially Papa Westray which is teaming with seabirds opened up to my eyes to the variety and beauty of seabirds, many of which are now in danger of extinction. I wanted to depict four such seabirds, the European Shag, the Roseate Tern, the Arctic Skua and the European Herring Gull.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

My lettering background is in calligraphy. A first class degree in Calligraphy from Roehampton Institute (1997) gave me a broad understanding of lettering, from historical letter forms to modern experimental lettering. Working extensively with an edged pen helped develop my eye and understanding for letter forms. After graduation I apprenticed in letter cutting with letter designer Tom Perkins, and subsequently took a two-year HND course in Applied Architectural Stonework at Weymouth College. After working with practitioners in both the UK and Germany, I set up my own practice in 2005.
