The Studio Collection

My next exhibition at the Pinkfoot Gallery starts on the 21st September 2023, you can view here – The Studio Collection

The land around my studio has me trapped and mesmerised. After years of creating a natural landscape, the creatures and vegetation within it have me under their spell, becoming the subject of my work. A visiting sparrow hawk is framed by the studio doors one day as it rests and preens. The flowering plants explode like slow motion fireworks, feeding butterflies, hawk-moths and bees. The foxes come to search and dig and the birds breed in the hollows. It is a small slice of North Norfolk and a world of its own. The owls, hares, deer etc all come, they give birth and rear their young and travel through -I’m entranced by it, watching the seasons and the changes and the shaping of nature..
