I was delighted to be a guest on Desert Island Discs in Autumn 2025 — a real “pinch me” moment. I spoke about my creative journey, the inspirations behind my work, and the music that has shaped my life.

You can listen on BBC Radio 4 at 10 am, Sunday 5 October 2025 or it will be available afterwards on the free BBC Sounds app. 

Desert Island Discs is one of Radio 4’s 'windowed' programmes which means it appears initially and exclusively on the BBC Sounds podcast app for four weeks before dropping onto other platforms like Spotify or Apple. For more details please visit the BBC website here:

I welcomed Simon Armitage into my studio shed to talk about the inspiration behind my wildlife-focused artwork. I explained my linocut and screen-printing process, showing how carving, inking, and layering colour bring my countryside motifs to life. As we talked, I reflected on how the peace of my shed and my deep connection to the natural world shape the character of my prints.
