The Lie of the Land no. 1, The stag shows them the way through the woods Print - Limited Edition of 1

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.
