Path to the peak Painting

I love painting and drawing places, people, ideas, stories. I see the endless change that has always gone on in the natural world, in ourselves, and in our cultures. Yet also things endure, some patterns keep re-emerging, many stories stick around, particular places matter. I have been very fortunate to travel widely, and to live and work in Madagascar, Jordan, and now France, all different, and yet sometimes surprisingly similar cultures to my native Great Britain. Those places and the ancient places and stories they contain have been my subjects for many years. Ultimately, I paint as a form of meditation, as a process of contemplation of the subject, myself, the materials, and whatever endures in all of those.
