‘I am never happier than when I am either walking in the landscape or painting it.

I grew up in East Anglia as a member of a farming family, and the love of the natural world that I developed as a child has grown stronger in me as the years have passed.

My paintings are not usually direct representations of a scene; they are mostly semi-abstract works that I use as a way of recording the aspect that remains uppermost in my memory. They evoke the sensation of a moment in time in a particular location. For me, they are more 'real' than a photograph.

I walk each day in the countryside around the Suffolk village in which I live. The familiar fields, woods, paths, animals and birds find their way into the work. I watch the light move across the landscape or through the trees, continually changing the colours and the atmosphere.

I am fortunate enough to have been working as an artist for more than twenty-five years. I exhibit at galleries around the UK and also undertake private commissions. My work has been published as both prints and greetings cards and has appeared in magazines.’
