I am an artist and writer, inspired by wild places. I live in Kendal but my journeys take me all over Britain, Europe and Asia.

​I work directly from the landscape, carrying or canoeing with my art materials all year round, sometimes risking hypothermia for my art.

My acrylic paintings are mainly of mountains, the sea or other natural landscapes. I attempt to capture the beauty and energy of these wild-places, allowing you, the viewer, to share my experiences, without the cold and wet, the dangers and the midges!

My journeys also inspire me to write poems, stories and reflections about my adventures. I love to share my passion for my experiences, so I frequently appear at story telling evenings and am available for illustrated talks to groups by arrangement.  

If you would like to view my paintings at my home gallery, please do contact me.
