Natural forms of growth and decay which are part of the cycle of life; shapes and colours of plants; erosion of the earth caused by time and the elements are all sources of inspiration for my work. I work with a mixture of media and often combine painting with printmaking. Drawing is important to me as it is a way of exploring and understanding how things are formed and helps in the development of ideas.

I combine my art practice with some teaching in Adult Education and with people with learning disabilities.
