Nature is my inspiration whether it is found in the city or in the countryside. I explore the seasons and their impact on our environment. I seek out hidden places in in the city where the natural world flourishes. I strive to communicate the enduring qualities of the untouched physical world and the serenity to be found in its solitude.
I am currently working on a series of paintings representing the juxtaposition of the natural and the man-made environment; exploring gateways and entrances as thresholds to hidden woodlands and landscapes.
