In recent years, I have shifted my focus from observer and painter of familiar scenery to a more ’felt’ interpretation of the environment. Walking and sketching outdoors, I examine the movement of wind, tides, erosion, changing river patterns and bird migration. During COVID’s period of social isolation, I worked remotely as an Art Director for a PBS animated TV series. My creative time was limited and I needed to find a simple method to keep my creative practise alive. Daily walks in the woodlands created for me a sense of connectedness - I began to search for ways to include Nature into my art making process. I collected samples of vegetation from my woodland garden from which I took impressions and tracings. Working on a more intimate scale created a smaller aperture, suggesting novel perspectives, revealing extraordinary detail. I cropped fragments from larger watercolour paintings and combined them with Nature prints. This drew me to look more closely at the biomass under our feet, to notice the evidence of insects, eggs, seeds - the very basis of life in the rainforest.

My work speaks to the beauty, resilience, and complexity of nature, particularly how life grows, evolves, and transforms. It is a meditation on cycles of decay and renewal, emphasizing nature's imperfections as a source of beauty. By incorporating recycled and found materials, my work also touches on environmental themes, encouraging a mindful approach to our relationship with the natural world. Ultimately, it’s a reflection on life’s interconnectedness, how small details and imperfections contribute to the larger whole.
