In June and July 2023 I held a solo exhibition of paintings in Linton, Cambridgeshire. The show brought together a selection of recent work in oil and cold wax, spanning a range of scales and exploring the recurring themes of my practice: the forest, the fenland, the quality of northern light, and the tension between representation and abstraction. The Work The paintings in this exhibition were developed through the layered process that characterises my approach to oil and co

In May 2023 I gave a presentation at the Royal Photographic Society Contemporary SIG conference, held over a weekend at Foxton, Cambridgeshire. The theme of the event centred on the vulnerability of the Fenland area — its exposure to rising sea levels, the pressures on its flood infrastructure, and the broader implications of climate change for a landscape that sits, in large part, below sea level.

I have arrived at an interpretation of the Fenlands through working with materials and actually living here and experiencing the...

'Reflections in the New Forest' — Artist Residency Work 'Reflections in the New Forest' is one of a group of paintings made during my residency in the New Forest. The title refers both to the literal reflections of trees and sky in the forest pools and streams, and to the more general quality of reflection — of looking back, of seeing the landscape in relation to memory and experience — that the residency encouraged. The Residency The New Forest residency was a period of sust
