“My most recent work has been concerned with my personal sensory response to landscape spending time recording the feel of the rugged coastline of West Wales and the sylvan-scapes of the Savernake Forest through drawings, photographs, film and paintings.This work has been created from studies taken in the Savernake Forest and has been displayed in the Artist Studio as part of Marlborough Open Studio 2018.”
