Details
Landscape/garden/river based explorations. Particularly fond of crumbling old buildings, discarded ladders, abandoned trellis, fading flowers and bare winter structures. I begin with representation and move further into imagination and abstraction. I have published two books on my art practice - Wild Margins 1, Drawings and Inspirations and Wild Margins 2, After the Storm. A third is currently in the pipeline.
Creating some alchemy out of our enchanting, precious natural world. Enjoying the challenges that creativity continues to offer. Sharing what I do with the many visitors who enjoy the h.Art festival and other exhibitions. We need those who become involved in our world.
Painting, collage, mixed media, drawing and mono printing
Selected collaborations. My work has appeared on book covers, inside publications, on poem cards (with poet Fiona Owen), murals and in projects with children. Several of my paintings have been hung at Royal Academy Summer Exhibitions. I take part in the 'Creatura' project with Fiona Owen. I enjoy exploring local and social history for my art projects.
Putney Collage of Art, Eastbourne Collage of Art, Open University degree focusing on art history and the how and why society creates its cultures. I am greatly inspired by those involved in creativity such as music, theatre, writing, thinking etc....
