"On-going engagement, through repeated visits to places of interest, is the cornerstone of my art practice. I’m drawn to wild, open spaces particularly in Cornwall and my immediate environment of Somerset and Wiltshire. I’m interested in the places where we feel at home and comfortable in a place well known. I create this feeling of deep connection through walking, observing and drawing".
