painting and more

Painting has been my primary focus for more than 25 years and it has allowed me to explore the world in the best way possible. By providing both travel opportunities and insight into some of earth’s remotest places in addition to the remarkable british landscape, I have been extraordinarily lucky to gain valuable knowledge through first hand experience.

Working in such close proximity I have not failed to notice that from the vast ice-scapes of the Polar regions to the more modest glaciers of the Alps and our own coastline around Britain, change is afoot in an undeniably warming world. The fragility of our ecosystems is all too obvious as the ice melts and the seas rise and it saddens me greatly to think how such demise is generating unprecedented difficulties for future generations to face. If my years of painting have taught me anything it is to respect and value all that we are privileged to have. This planet is way bigger than the human species and we would do well to acknowledge more widely that it is in fact us, not it, who stand to lose when pitted against one another.

bridging the gap - art meets science

In my evolving creative practice my aim is to help bridge the chasm of disconnect between people and planet by bringing together contemporary art and science. Giving new perspective to some of the burning issues and groundbreaking research currently taking place around climate change contributes to education and is therefore, I believe, a positive and meaningful advancement of my work.
