Back to profiles

Based in the north west of England, i retired from a long career in the NHS in 2015 and have since concentrated on painting, a life-long passion.

Using acrylics on canvas whilst experimenting with textiles, found materials and new paint technologies, i'm self-taught.

My recent work (Earth series) is focused on aspects of landscape, especially places characterised by ancient habitation, pathways and the evolution of both human and natural features such as moorland. These allow for reflection on legacy and change, boundaries and the breaking of them, and have featured in my awareness since i was very young. I'm increasingly drawn towards abstraction.
