“My distinctive personal style of abstract painting pays homage to the beauty of the Cotswold escarpment close to where I live. I collect natural earth pigments from the landscape from which I make my own paints for my current series of work. Passionate about the environment I am able to witness first-hand how important it is to preserve and protect it from over development and other human interference. My practice considers not only how our relationship with the natural environment is essential for our mental and physical well-being as humans but also for the survival of animal, insect and plant life."
