Ever since childhood, growing up in the beechwoods, I have felt an affinity with woodland creatures and Badger is a familiar. Badgers live in setts underground, deep in the earth beneath the ancient oaks, hornbeams and beech trees. When I found this gnarled hollow oak clinging to the ground I thought it would make a splendid home for a badger. The ferns outside the sett are fascinating in spring, emerging from the leaf mould with their snail-like shapes which gradually unfurl, creating many different spiralling forms. It is very early just after sunrise and the birds are singing their springtime songs when badger takes his morning stroll.

I have been a painter-printmaker all my life. After school I went to art college in Amersham, UK to study painting and printmaking. My favourite subject-matter was flowers, trees and hedgerows in oils on a large scale and lithography, particularly fantasy and folkloric themes. I studied History of Art at University in Leicester, UK and afterwards took a teaching certificate in ceramics. I was a founder member of the Equinox Theatre Company in which I acted, sang danced and made the puppets. It was one of the first medieval revival companies in the country. I taught art and art history in a convent for a few years and then moved to Spain where I stayed for many years. I lived and worked in a beautiful garden studio with my dog and friends came to visit me. I painted them in my garden, sitting and thinking, My studio was open to everyone and once I had a visit from a snake! I studied etching and engraving in a Barcelona studio and since then most of my printmaking is drypoint engraving. Now I am back in England where I paint the trees, plants, rivers, ponds, insects, birds and animals near to wherever I am living and I enjoy listening to classical music , particularly Schubert, while I'm working. I am a teacher of yoga and meditation. I would like to be an owl or a fox for one night. - Nature sculpts the world through movement. Trees grow slowly, water runs fast. Each leaf, cloud, dragonfly's wing... is unique. Light permeates the invisible air. Mind dissolves into the object - there is no separation.
