About me
Nature feeds my soul and sparks my imagination.
You’ll find me out and about in every season - armed with my camera, curiosity and a sense of adventure: walking, watching, gazing. Noticing shapes, lines, patterns, adjacent colours, shades, hues; scents, textures, movement and sound. I listen to trees chatter and to running water. I talk to the birds, watch passing clouds, stargaze and smile at the moon.
Expressing feelings and emotions.
Choosing colours and gestures to capture what I have seen or experienced, I create original abstracts for you to collect as paintings or prints.
Any captured moment, image or recollection may be present, as I work in the studio. One never knows what will happen inside that precious space.
The best that can happen is that a piece resonates with you; inspires you to look again, and maybe for you to see differently. Always with appreciation, affection and amazement for the beauty of what is all around us - in nature, and in every one of us.
I'm currently working on 'Scattered Thoughts' - the 'working title' of an artist book which weaves threads through the forest, the year and the seasons, using letters from the Tree Alphabet - celebrating the forest as the original place of spirit, worship and meaning.
This is turning out a little differently to what I expected - which is what I expected!
I have written a poem for each letter/word, and am about to start working on the paintings.
My studio is situated in South West France, south of Bergerac, in one of the bastides.

Always observing, thinking and imagining, I have work in private collections in the UK, Belgium, Denmark, France,Germany and the U.S.
