ARTISTS STATEMENT:
"I produce work in a variety of media, including watercolour, oil, pastel, silk, monoprinting and ceramic. It is the idea that matters and I translate this into the most suitable medium for its expression.
Essentially I am moved by the power of nature and influenced by Welsh and Breton landscape and its mythology.
I am particularly interested in the spirits of the land and in particular in ancient Yew trees in Celtic countries."
