My introduction to the New Forest landscape began when I moved here as a child and enjoyed the freedom to wander in the landscape and learning about the flora and fauna of the forest and the ponies that lived there.

A deep connection to the forest evolved over the years and my art became a journey into the landscape, its small intimate spaces, the ponies, trees and open heaths.

I work in mixed media and printmaking, using a combination of these when creating my collages and artist books. I spend time in the forest daily and often work plein air, bringing sketches and drypoint etchings back to the studio for further development.
