Scrolling down this gallery you will see a selection of my most recent artworks and their titles are usually a good indicator of their inspiration, such as:

Quarry - The village quarry is located a short walk up Worsendale and I enjoy exploring the place with sketchbook & camera, following how it changes through the seasons from the road up the dale.

The Art of Nature (TAON) - As part of my quarry explorations I spent time observing & recording the plant life found there & around the village & in my garden too, gathering plant material to use in my printmaking.

Beck - There are a number of springs on the hillsides above the village & these come together to create the village beck. I have spent many happy hours in my wellies exploring & mapping the obstacle course of human-made structures that this chalk stream encounters on its journey through the village & using the information gathered back in the studio.

Landscape Legacy - The impact of humans on the landscape and nature's interaction with it is a rich source of inspiration for me. I particularly enjoy observing nature reclaiming abandoned human-built structures especially on the coast and in disused industrial sites. Photos & sketches of these places provide a rich source of inspiration for me.

Evolutionary Landscape - These artworks are inspired by a year studying geology at university combined with a lifelong interest in the natural structures of the landscape and its continued evolution.

Memory Wall - These artworks have a very specific format - a 'wall' built out of pieces of old prints with a sun or moon rising above. I use parts of old prints that I feel are worth celebrating & too good to recycle. Making a memory wall is usually a long process, similar to having a jigsaw on the go where a few pieces are added each day.

The varying dimensions of the images in the gallery below means you can see at a glance the shape of each individual artwork, clicking on the image will give you more information including the dimensions. My finished artworks vary in size to such an extent that the small introductory images cannot sensibly be displayed at their correct relative sizes.

All the work in this gallery is available to purchase, please do contact me if you would like more information.
