“… exploring the land at every opportunity, I want to capture the way it makes me feel. I love the flow of the shapes, the restless forces of erosion and the stories the land could tell.

“After walking, sketching and photographing I plan the compositions with thumbnail drawings and then, using a base of watercolour, pastels or both, I work quickly to keep the curves flowing. I try to translate movement and energy onto paper, but also remain true to the forms that made me want to paint.”
