From the 1970’s until 2020 most of my work was in response to my environment, be it domestic, manmade, or natural, which in style ranges from closely observed drawing and painting to the expressive and abstract. I spent several years at sea half a life ago, and continued to be fascinated by finding ways to express its colours, light, movement and power. I work from observation, memory and experience. With easy access to the Dorset coast, I also respond to what I find and observe at the edge of the sea. Thirty years in the North Dorset countryside walking the hills, meadows and rural paths almost every day has had an impact on how I see the natural environment and I am drawn to the little things, the texture and detail in hedgerows, the patterns made by grasses, wild blooms and insects and the chaos of my messy cottage garden.
