Digital Technology The Age of Progress Inspired by a litter pick with my son during a heatwave summer 2018, we visited a site under the new bridge at Tuckingmill, Cornwall, we gathered an approximate haul of 3 bin bags from an empty overflow pool, the ground was dry and cracked so we were able to walk around retrieving many bottles, Amongst the litter we came across a discarded smart phone which later became part of the majestic Manta ray painting and contributed the title, it felt like mobile phones are considered a disposable item, no value associated and yet Gorillas and Great Apes and endangered due to the mining of Coltan Ore found in everyday items such as play station consoles and smartphones. The mining itself is not a problem, but the miners are given arms and they poach the wildlife for food. .html

The natural world is the source of my inspiration, the sounds of the ocean, beach and dunes evocative of childhood memories in Cornwall. In recent years during many hours of river/ocean rowing and competing on Cornish shores, my work has evolved lending amazing transparency, fluidity & reflections to my artworks, the adrenaline, energy, salt spray and high winds creating my style of 'Tidalmarks'. The environment and impacting political issues caused by man-made pollution is a driving force for new and emerging work. . I donated a painting to the 'Save our sands' community group, Hayle, Cornwall, in April 2011, following 20 tons of sand being over dredged and killing the dune system. Further to this, my work has been a tribute to my late mother who was an environmental scientist and in June 2015 'The Summer Exhibition', held on national beach clean day June 2016, at Stisa, St Ives. Landscapes have been a starting point, however, I have also been researching and investigating the news and diverse cultural approaches to pollution and Climate change, due to poverty these issues will always be subjective to finance first, but living in harmony with nature is the future and small changes make a big difference, it's surely about how we reach these objectives together globally, putting differences aside, such a big ask I know. But I have to believe for my children and the future generations that we have to #bethechange. #makeadifference
