Exploring the landscape, tracing the shapes and rhythms with your eye, and translating it into marks on paper is an experiential and primal way of engaging with a place. Sitting on the ground, listening and responding to weather, light, smells and atmosphere and the luminosity and spirit that is always pulsing through our landscape.

 I love to combine larger spaces with tiny detail that make up a tapestry of marks that extend beyond the boundaries of a photograph, drawing you closer into the image and world I’m trying to capture.  I find myself looking for shapes that seem to snap together like a stained-glass window and the enfolding spaces between them. My compositions echo the way apples fall off a tree in a reflective circle, ripples, plough lines or the way earth works radiate outward.  My drawing is an action of reverence and connection and a celebration of pattern and spirit of place.
