My Work
Mostly inspired by the countryside of Cornwall and the South West of England the main subjects of my work are landscapes and seascapes, clouds and skies. from the tors of the high moorland, the hills and trees, to the cliffs and beaches of the coast there is much to draw and paint. Many of my pictures may include all of these as a single scene, from the close-up foreground to the distant horizon. I have discovered many images in the archeology of the area. The houses and cottages of our ancestors, the hill forts and standing stones of the ancient monuments.
I am fascinated by the planetry events of the worlds above us. The Sun, the Moon, Mars and the comets.

I am a mixed media artist. As well as working with traditonal pastels, acrylics and gouache,I rely heavily on many natural materials like leaves, lichens, minerals, glass and leaf metals to build up a collage of textures and colour to give depth to each piece.
My printmaking takes in etching, aquatint. collographs, lino cut and blockprinting.
As well as producing my own works I also design greeting cards and christmas cards, and am also involved with book illustration.
Please contact me for details of commissioned work.

NEWS
August 2005

In response to requests I have introduced a new collection of greeting cards which will be available from mid August. The first six designs depict various views of North Cornwall based on my favourite local journeys to Tintagel, Boscastle, Crackington Haven, Strangles etc. I am also working on more studies of the county including North of Bude which I believe to be dramatic and very beautiful.

Much of my work, including cards, can be viewed at the Boscastle Gallery where I am currently available to talk about my pictures two or three days a week.
The gallery has now been completely refurbished after last years disastous flood and has on show many artists works.
