I draw, paint, take photographs and write about art. I bring the outside world into my work and spend a lot of time in the landscape, which is a great leveller. It is here where I begin to form ideas that I work out in the studio. My subject matter is nature, whether it is the landscape, figure, plant or bird. I work in paint for its versatility, delicacy and strength. Paint is wonderful and can be transformed into a story on paper, canvas or panel.
