My first degree was in Science, but with a creative wild card in me refusing to be ignored, I was fortunate to be able to study again and graduate in Fine Art as a mature student.
Most of my work is a representational response to the agricultural landscape and my interest in photography provides many reference points. I look for the edge of light and form with a geometric quality and this can also result in abstract work breaking through from time to time. The apparent tranquillity of landscape, with its ownership and territorial aspects gives me a sense of the concealed history of the place.
Other works include drawings and cartoons of cats and dogs, either for framing or as designs for cards.
The processes and media I use include; painting, printmaking, photography and drawing; with oils, acrylics, watercolour, inks, pen and charcoal.
Within the community, I run drawing workshops in our local Museum, provide an after school art club, lead landscape painting workshops and other art projects for primary schools. I also design and paint the set for our village pantomime production!
