I aim to do the sort of painting 'that is infused' by nature rather than an imitation of it. I want to maintain a certain flexibility, to explore different directions and give the work an abstract independence from the form it describes. Instead of reproducing exactly what I have before my eyes I use colour more arbitrarily so as to express myself more forcefully.

For the last fifteen years I have worked as a full time painter since graduating from the Byam Shaw college of art in London. I studied etching at the City Lit and Morley College of art and am now working in King's Cliffe.

My work primarily consists of landscape painting, drawings, etchings and murals. The drawings are done on the spot as are some of the paintings. Often my work is abstract usually being related to landscape. After showing in Peterborough museum in 1984 I have exhibited widely around Britain and in Germany.
