My work is inspired by direct experience of the natural world around me whether it is the broad lines of landscape or the textures of seed heads in my garden. I use these as a springboard for my imagination to create dramatic spaces that the spectator can explore.

In some paintings I focus on elements in the landscape that are meaningful to me – horizon lines, trees, the texture of rock or twigs and leaves. Sometimes these elements are recognisable, sometimes they become abstract suggestions to express the strong spiritual presence that resides in Nature.

In other paintings the more intimate, man-made, world of the garden has been the inspiration. Flowers, stems and seed heads become actors in a drama or develop personalities of their own hinting at a world beyond the obvious.

Every painting is truly individual and no two works are ever the same. Canvas sizes vary from 20 x 20 cm up to large works 150 cm wide. Prices range from £150 to about £1,500.
