After gaining a degree in Fine Art at I went on to paint murals for private clients for several years as well as being involved in various projects. Over the past two years I have returned to printmaking and painting. |

My work tries to evoke the spirit of particular places. I am interested in natural features of landscapes, such as rock formations, and transient ‘finds’ such as beach flotsam. Man-made changes to the land, such as rock carvings, and abandoned objects, hold a particular fascination, as do the traces, tracks and paths left by animals and people. Wildlife, especially birds, often finds its way into my work. Whilst celebrating the beauty of nature I am also concerned with the detrimental effects on species and landscape caused by human behaviour. |

My paintings are mainly in oil, sometimes with collaged elements. Realistic features are incorporated within more abstract schemes of colour and texture. In my printmaking, I like to explore the intricate, fluid surfaces of collagraphs, building up a variety of differently textured areas. In contrast, the direct cutting into lino blocks produces prints with clean lines and bold shapes.
