I once saw a fox trotting along a path in the woods between great trees, just like this one. He knew exactly what he was doing. I would have liked to have followed him to find out where he was going with such determination. He was a magnificent creature, lithe and supple with a beautiful russet coat and brush. Once I looked a fox in the eye, but all I could see was wildness. They live in a parallel world and aren't interested in us at all, even though they are our neighbours. Little foxes come to my garden to play in the moonlight, but mother is always crouched down, watching out. They make very loud and quite fearsome screams which wake me up, but I am glad they are there. They have made friends with my two cats and they are always welcome. The hills behind this fox are part of the Chilterns not far from where I live and along the top is a prehistoric path called The Ridgeway. There are the remains of an iron age fort and barrows. When the ancient people were here so were the foxes and they haven't changed at all, but nor have we in truth. Most of us now live in cities but so do the foxes. Such a long alliance at a distance.

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.
