Welcome!

In today's society we are constantly exposed to negative images and words. So much so that the beauty around is increasingly overlooked.

Ochre reedbeds and spring sunlight on the mosses, still reflections of birds and evening clouds at low tide contrasted against patterns and textures of ribbed sands,

Silhouettes of birds feeding in winter,or the fell in high summer buzzing with life and covered with wild flowers.

Now working from my studio at Sizergh, the natural world around me and in particular a passion for birds is a continuing inspiration for my work.

Frequent visits to Morecambe Bay and its mosses, daily walks up on Sizergh fell, along the old canal and back along the river Kent, in all weathers and in different lights offer endless sources of material. Favourite locations throughout Scotland provide further inspiration for my work

I produce large graphite drawings & paintings in acrylic/mixed-media.

I aim above all to capture contrasts and those transitory moments in the countryside around me.
