"I have been involved even more with landscape painting, especially that of Cornwall, where we now have a holiday flat at Lelant, just outside St. Ives. I have also visited Venice, the Greek island of Santorini and Tuscany for further inspiration and the trees and woods of my home county, Leicestershire, continue to inspire.

I am constantly exploring the boundaries of paint and mixed media, the better to understand and engage with my subject. I travel always with my sketchbooks, making endless drawings and notes which aid my memory on my return to my studio in Leicestershire."
