Autumn Walk, 2010

I am an artist based in Monmouth, South Wales.

It is the intimate and unforgettable places in Nature that I like to share.

2008 saw my work inspired by the Newport Wetlands Reserve and the Severn Estuary.

Easter 2009 proved a turning point for me - I took a holiday in Tuscany, near Arezzo, in a villa surrounded by Olive Groves that every morning would be lit up by the spring light. I was also lucky enough to see the work of Piero della Francesca, it took my breath away. Since then my main focus has been, what deep down has been a lifelong love, TREES.
So, my most recent works have been drawings and paintings of Olive Trees; the hidden corners of English Gardens and Hampstead Heath; and, since December, Welsh Glades in the winter sun.

These special places give me the space to find calm in this frantic world. All I can hope is that within my artworks you can lose yourself like I did.

CATALOGUE COMING SOON

Since our trip to Tuscany Easter 2009 I have become fascinated by the intimate spaces of Olive Groves and Welsh Glades, and hidden corners of Hampstead Heath. In most of the works I have tried to celebrate the glorious effects of the sun as it travels through the branches into the space below. I hope that my works inspire memories of moments, spent calm and secure in the realms of trees.

This exhibition is complimentary to the Real Van Gogh The Artist And His Letters exhibition at The Royal Academy of Arts, Picadilly. I have been continuously inspired by his work and that of his near contemporaries, Monet and Renoir... and so I wish to acknowledge that.
