I am a land inspired artist living near the coast in North Somerset. Using natural earth, mineral and botanical pigments my aim is to evoke the timeless geology at the water's edge. The view across the estuary, the rock formations along the coast, the pebbles at my feet and the markings within those pebbles and rocks is my inspiration. Becoming a more ecologically aware artist, using sustainable materials as much as I can, has become a natural part of my practice.

Working mindfully and often intuitively, marking the seasonal turn of the year, allows for a deeper connection to the land. Walking, observing, gathering earth, sieving earth, making paint and then painting, inspired by that same landscape, is a grounding, cyclical process.

Through my work I aim to offer a quiet moment of reflection and awakening.

Every rock we touch is the emissary of timescales we cannot begin to comprehend without confronting our own transience, and yet radiating from it is also the quiet assurance that the world goes on and on, that we are part of something vast and magnificent, that beneath all the tumult and turmoil of our human lives there is a steadfast continuity that anchors life to eternity.
