Living and working in Etruria - from which Tuscany takes its name - the ancient past is never far from my consciousness. This work celebrates certain Etruscan religious rites performed by Augurs, Etruscan priests. The wing on the left symbolises the benign winged demon, "Vanth", who guided one into the next world. The symbols displaying Etruscan text represent the means by which the Augurs foretold the future using animal entrails. The image of the book was engraved on a zinc plate, printed, and worked over with ink, gold leaf and gauze.

Italy
I have been working, exhibiting and teaching in Tuscany since moving here thirty years ago. The main source of my inspiration, as it has been for many artists, is the Tuscan landscape. However, that which lies below the surface holds much more interest. In a land under constant human habitation for three millennia, the layers of civilisation have left a wealth of information going back to the time of the ancient Etruscans and beyond. My personal journey in search of Etruria has led to archaeological sites and museums throughout the Italian peninsula and its islands. I work in various media - oil, collage, pastel and mixed media. I also enjoy the serendipity of printmaking - dry point and monoprint - and the freedom of pen and ink drawing.
