I am an artist and printmaker based in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales. Working from our gallery and printmaking school, Studio 74 in Robertson, I create and teach across a wide range of printmaking techniques, including Waterless Lithography, Aluminium Etching, Photopolymer Intaglio, Collagraphy, Stencil, and other intaglio and relief processes.

As one half of the Printmaking Sisters, my sister Annie Day and I have been teaching printmaking in Australia and internationally for more than 25 years. Our shared passion for the medium has fostered a vibrant community of artists and continues to inspire me through workshops at Studio 74. I have long been drawn to the ancient stone architecture and narrow passageways of the Middle East, which have inspired a body of work exploring the relationship between structure, memory, and imagination. My prints and drawings often depict layered spaces doorways, staircases, and hidden courtyards inviting viewers to wander and wonder about the stories held within. “I love to make it interesting for the viewer,” I say, “to keep them within the image and allow them to trace a path through the spaces I create.”

Recently, a trip to Japan deepened my appreciation for the elegance of traditional woodcut prints — their refined line, balanced design, and quiet restraint. Inspired by this aesthetic, I created new works using drypoint, mixed-media, and waterless lithography, exploring Japanese compositional harmony through soft, velvety lines and delicate layers of colour that evoke the warmth and luminosity of woodcut tradition.

Through the layering of colour and line, I continue to seek a balance between the physical act of making and the emotional resonance of the image. My work reflects a life devoted to artistic exploration, the sharing of knowledge, and an enduring fascination with the spaces both built and natural that shape human experience. I have exhibited widely in Australia, the UK, and Italy, and through both my art and teaching, I strive to inspire curiosity, contemplation, and discovery in those who encounter my prints.
