I work with zinc etching,wood cut,solar plate,oil paint,oil pastels,litho inks, thick charcoal, acrylics and graphite when painting and drawing. Large scale lino cuts are made using TN Lawrence Relief Inks and hand printed.

​

Realising how to describe the monumental geography of landscapes and the highly intense  interwoven detail within has given me a rich challenge. Nature is in perpetual motion and has  boundless extremes of temperament. My experience of nature is reflected in ways I work. Recently I have been working on large canvases with charcoal and oil paint where I represent the sculptural form, volume and depth of a vast landscape and tease away the intensity of detail.
