About me

I have been painting since retiring, after a professional life as a graphic designer.

No matter how my subject matter changes, and it frequently does, I always  return to land and seascapes and particularly the spaces where they meet - the edge of things.The images develop from sketches done in situ, photos, found objects and the memories of those experiences. The images are often quite heavily textured - the layering of the paint echoing the layering of the land, the history and what lies beneath.
​
Screen and mono printing is an alternative discipline which often feeds into the painting and vice versa. I also enjoy making hand made and artists books with my own printed papers.
