Celebrating nature, the spirit and the sheer joy of being alive on planet Earth.

Always representing my feelings with colour and gesture and with the intention of creating an emotional response.

Connecting observations of nature, spirituality, history, literature, mythology and my own experiences.

'The Day the Sky Shattered and Flew Away' follows on from Breathing Space, rising up from the forest into the sky.

Breathing Space is an installation with a sonic landscape. Starting as one painting to embrace, envelop and immerse the Spectator, it took on a life of its own.

Watch the visualisation I created for Earlids' first EP.

A continuous flow of colour and sound for 14 minutes.

Take a look at the 'Q-Series' - expressions of my feelings during ‘lockdown’.

Prior to 2015 I worked on interpretative projects, creating pieces in response to Benjamin Britten’s ‘War Requiem’, Virginia Woolf’s first novel, ‘The Voyage Out’, and ‘Choral Evensong’.

Exhibiting in solo and group shows in England and France, my work has been seen in galleries, cathedrals, a theatre, priory and moulin.
