Christmas CardsFor the past 20 years or so I have made Christmas cards, either small prints or watercolours. Not a huge number - just a few for friends and family. A simple design and using limited colours is the key. For the prints it has most often been a relief print overprinting two or three blocks only, and a few times I've prepared an intaglio plate. For the watercolours a few rapid marks with hard oil pastels then two sweeps of colour. One a warm tone, and the other much cooler tone letting the resist between the wax/ oil and watercolour create random elements. |

Alaska - September 2024Twenty seven years ago I'd been a part of the Artists for Nature Project in the Copper River Delta of Alaska. This year we were invited back to investigate the possibility of returning over the coming two years to undertake another project - only this time the story would be very different. |

About the Artist |
Obsessed by the natural world I work out and about in wild places sketching and painting wildlife and landscapes. It is the rhythm and restlessness of nature which fascinates, and which I try to capture. This site aims to show some of the studio processes and field experiences, the development of finished work or highlighting work in progress. There might be news about exhibitions and other events where paintings and prints are on show.
See Artist Profile page for more information.
