I am inspired by certain landscapes: West Penwith in Cornwall, the West Coast of Ireland,the Isles of Ske and Lewis; ancient uncultivated lands, their colours and atmospheres and their traces of past civilisations. Calligraphic detail is part of my work as I love to draw with paint brush or etching tool. Imagery comes from a personal visual language developed over the years; from standing stones, Latin inscriptions carved in granite, Egyptian picture-script and symbols of religious and tribal art. The hardest thing to do is to work with the freedom of expression seen in a child's painting: that's my challenge. I tutor art classes in Stamford and for Leicester Print Workshop of which I am a member. I have a BA(Hons) in Fine Art from Bath Academy. My work is regularly exhibited in the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition.
