I live in North Cornwall in a wooded valley close to the Camel estuary. The woodland is a nature reserve belonging to the Cornwall Wildlife Trust.

​​​The woodland has always been a source of inspiration for me, slowly revealing secrets, as I go on looking and experiencing.

Recently I have begun to work more and more in the comfort of my studio using memory and imagination in my paintings. This has given me the freedom to be creative in new ways. My subject matter is still connected to nature and wildlife as you will see from the paintings in this year's show.

Below are some pictures of my paintings in progress in the woods, two treasured old black and white photos and some photos taken at exhibitions. Click on the images to see more details.
