Over time my work has taken an experimental and multi-disciplinary approach to landscape sited on the boundary between the abstract and figurative. 

​

My current practise explores landscape as a liminal space, a place of journeying, transformation and renewal. As I pass through a holloway or sit tucked in and secure under a tree or hedgerow enjoying its rooty, earthy protectiveness I feel enveloped, safe and a strong sense of connection between myself and the natural world. ​

 

My work seeks to remind us of our own inner geographies, reawakening the deep rooted sense of belonging that we have with landscape and place. As we experience the adverse effects of climate change throughout our planet this is a timely reminder to stop and reflect upon the true value of our relationship with nature and what it brings to us personally as a teacher, healer and agent for positive change.
