Ross’ work focuses primarily on figurative and landscape studies. His goal is finding representations of the natural world that he finds inspiring.

While he works with a variety of media, his current focus is printmaking: it offers the opportunities, constraints and technical rigour to develop his artistic capability. Working with the Black Gully Printmakers provides him with the ideal mix of materials, interaction, inspiration and critique.

While Ross started with traditional, metal-based etching, the opportunities and workshops at Black Gully have broadened his scope in woodcut, letterpress and Gum Arabic-gouache monotype techniques. His current challenges are persistence, perseverance, patience and plate-wiping!
