The above image is an example of a combination of photography, digital manipulation, large format digital printing and overpainting on silk.   I am currently engaged working in areas which combine traditional techniques with digital technology in textiles.

Technology has always helped artists express new ideas in different ways. Digital Imaging is allowing me to expand my visual vocabulary, work with an infinite number of colours and if required, recreate them with great accuracy. One of the advantages of digital printing is that images may be printed any size on almost any substrate.
