I was born in Bury St Edmunds Suffolk, and have been painting and drawing for approximately 45 years. I use a heavyweight watercolour paper. In recent years I have been experimenting with mixed media.This process is quite lengthy, as the finished painting is based on drawings that can take a month or more to produce. I enjoy painting landscapes plein air. My method is to visit the the same locatio

n over two or three days, at the same time each day,usually early morning or late afternoon. I love drawing,especially with charcoal, as there is such a wide range of mark making that can be produced. The cycle of the seasons is something that continually interests me, so the landscape has played a major part in my work. I am still amazed how nature adapts to harsh weather, yet recovers to bring fresh growth in spring. My work is is as much about the process of mark making, as it is about representing a neglected landscape. For drawing I use a a sized, heavy weight watercolour paper. With the combination of plastic erasers, I am able to continually work and rework my drawings, by adding further subtle mark making. My drawings are often conceived in a fleeting moment, but then take time to unfold. In my landscapes, in painting or drawing, I aim to create a sense of light and atmosphere, using charcoal or graphite.
