I was born and have spent most of my life in the heart of West Dorset.  I have always felt the power of the landscape in this area, and this has been a major influence in all of my work. 

I became involved in outside theatre whilst working with “Theatre of the Heart”, where the landscape was an intrinsic part of the creative process and the final production.  It was with this influence that I decided to open up my own response to the ancient landscape and Celtic heritage to be found in this area.  I started by painting Celtic pictures that combined both the ancient forms together with the modern influences that surround my everyday life.  During this time my work was published in several magazines and books as well as being sold in the British Museum.  The society of Graphic Fine Art selected me for membership in March 2004, and I have exhibited with them in Cork Street in London and Bath. 

My eyesight began to deteriorate as a result of spending some years painting very fine, detailed pictures and this proved to be the catalyst to my work changing direction.    

Whilst sitting on the beaches and in quiet moments, I have always created patterns out of natural materials by re-arranging them.  I have also always had a great respect for the work of Richard Long and Andy Goldsworthy, and I realised that the two had a correlation that I could explore.  I now find working with land art the most natural path to express my creativity and am more at home in this environment than I have been before.  I now find myself free to explore and develop my ideas in this expressive form of art.
