Slow Grown



These volcanic rock formations have inspired recent work and I the colours I see in nature are a constant reference . I take time with sculptures and paintings, I want sculptures to have 'eroded' and paintings to 'grow', in this way time becomes a part of them, like slow grown wood or evolution, they are stronger creative pieces.

bare essentials

The joys of naked hill walking.

GUMS II


This years kayak trip was to the Isle of Mull, West Coast of Scotland. Within the first hour of being on the Water I had seen a Golden Eagle and an otter, two of my childhood dream sightings. The trip continued with views of the magnificent Sea Eagle, pygmy shews and the woderfully inquististive basking sharks. It is difficult to imagine the size of these fish, the best way I can describe a basking shark travelling beneath you in kayak is think JAWS, (without the teeth...crucially).
