My art shares explorations of untamed spaces and evokes the sense of wonder that connecting with nature brings.

The drama of tumbling hills, unpredictable weather and seasonal transformations on my walks around the Calder Valley and surrounding moorland are a constant source of inspiration.

I enjoy working with organic materials such as charcoal, wood and paper, making prints, large scale charcoal drawings and wildlife dioramas in found wooden boxes. In my studio I create woodcuts celebrating local birds

Unsurprisingly, the unique terraces, mills and industrial buildings that make the Hebden Bridge townscape so visually striking also feature in my work.
