I've never painted much, I'm not good at keeping a sketchbook (I mostly rely on receipts, backs of envelopes, whatever comes to hand) and I veer between too many ideas and no workable ideas at all, but life without creating would be unimaginable.

I am fascinated by the pairing of place and memory, both on the ground and in the mind. Humans mark rural and urban landscape in many ways, from subtle to brutal, and landscape keeps a physical memory of those marks, often long past the point when any reason for them has disappeared. Similarly, our own memories can be snagged by natural features from events in our timeline. Those features might become uncoupled over time from whatever they originally marked, but they remain landmarks on a very personal map; fragments of stories, told or untold.

I explore ideas mostly through printmaking and book arts, and sell much of the time through exhibitions, fairs and open studio events, but please get in touch if something catches your eye or you'd like to know more.
