'BLUEBELLS'
Acrylic on canvas. Commission 2008

MY WORK
Mostly inspired by the countryside of Cornwall and the South West of England the main subjects of my work are landscapes and seascapes, clouds and skies. from the tors of the high moorland, the hills and trees, to the cliffs and beaches of the coast there is much to draw and paint. Many of my pictures may include all of these as a single scene, from the close-up foreground to the distant horizon. I have discovered many images in the archeology of the area. The houses and cottages of our ancestors, the hill forts and standing stones of the ancient monuments.

I am a mixed media artist. As well as working with traditonal pastels, acrylics and gouache,I rely heavily on many natural materials like leaves, lichens, minerals, glass and leaf metals to build up a collage of textures and colour to give depth to each piece.
My printmaking takes in etching, aquatint. collographs, lino cut and blockprinting.
As well as producing my own works I also design greeting cards and christmas cards, and am also involved with book illustration.
