‘In 2001 Ian gave up being an Illustrator in London and moved to Mid Wales to study the landscape and improve his printmaking. Since then he has been creating sequential series of landscape and seascape prints. Utilising all the inspiring mark making, patterns and techniques he has absorbed over the last twenty five years from a wide variety of sources. These adventures include a residency with Indigenous artists from the Torres Strait Islands at Djumbunji Print workshop in Cairns, Australia, studying with Professor Wang Chou at the Purple Bamboo studio in Hangzhou, China and working with the Pine Feroda collaboration in Devon.
Ian is currently experimenting with grain, pattern and texture within the medium of woodcut for new series’ of landscape and seascape prints.’
