About The Artwork
This oil painting was done from a watercolour in my travel sketchbook. Walking in the Himalayas in North East India near the border with Tibet we paused to rest in this lovely terraced garden on the mountainside. The water here comes from springs in the mountains above and feeds by gravity down pipes to the villages. The water is clean and clear - it is used to drink, wash and irrigate the terraced fields cut into the mountainside. This lady came past to collect water from the tap and was carrying it home in a copper pot in the traditional way. Our guide told us that every year the glaciers above retreat by several metres as a result of global warming and the water table gets lower every year, threatening the villagers' way of life.

United Kingdom
I'm an English artist best known for my vibrant watercolour and oil paintings of landscapes, cityscapes, cafe and street scenes inspired by the light and colour of the places in the world that I love. I trained at St Martin's School of Art (The London Institute) and have been a full time professional illustrator and painter all of my life. Over the years I've been lucky enough to have received many corporate commissions and to have had my work published internationally as prints by The Art Group, and as part of the IKEA of Sweden print range. I do what I love and I love what I do - I hope that comes across in my work.
