I trained in Bristol and Brighton and hold a BA (Hons) in Fine Art, a PGCE and a Postgraduate Diploma in Printmaking. I exhibit locally and nationally with work in private collections at home and abroad and I have been running printmaking courses from my private workshop, near Tavistock in Devon, for eighteen years.

My pictures are representations of states of mind as well as interpretations of the ephemeral moods of the landscape and the sea. I use a limited colour range to achieve timeless spaces in which to convey aspects of human solitude. Most of the places I choose are ones that I know very well and are imbued with a sense of memory, and where I have a vague knowledge of the history. I am always aware of layers of time - geological events, the effects of the weather, human migration. I find the starting points for most of my work on Dartmoor and on the coast.
