About me
I am inspired by northern landscapes, particularly the wild places. I have spent many years walking in and drawing the mountains and fells of northern Britain, and more recently the Alps and Pyrenees. I love to be in the high hills, in close relationship with the mountains – often clinging on for dear life!
With the fear comes also exhilaration at completing routes, the reward of stunning, breathtaking views and a growing knowledge and understanding of how mountains fit together - not to mention an intimate acquaintance with the particular structure of limestone!
I am fascinated by the fugitive effects of weather and light on wild mountain landscapes. In my work I capture these transient, atmospheric qualities. I create images which range from the representational to those which express abstract qualities of light, texture and form.
In June and July, and for one weekend before Christmas, I take part in
- the Northumberland Open Studios event run by Network.
