Description

My work is a personal response to my environment mainly semi abstract/landscape.

I use reality as a basis for much of my work but am informed by memory and  feeling. Endeavouring to tap into the 'genius loci' of the place or subject, I walk the land, sketch and take photographs which I then work on in the studio . I love colour and how the use of it can evoke a feeling or memory. I am also drawn to the energy of the land, it's past and present uses and how human beings interact with it.

I live in a beautiful remote valley, Cwm Croesor, in Snowdonia. My studio is situated on the flanks of Moelwyn Mawr and Cnicht dominates the skyline. It is a mercurial landscape dominated by the weather. Mist, torrential rain, snow, ice, balmy sunshine all paint the landscape with their different hues and moods and inspire me constantly.

Directions to studio
At crossroads in Croesor continue straight on past caffi on left. Turn right at row of houses (on left). Do not go over the cattle grid! Bryn is large white house on right.
