I pull elements from a lifetime of visual inspiration to create work that allows an investigation into how to record the natural world around me. The focus of my recent work has been on repeat pattern and botanical painting, with an emphasis on colour.

What to expect: The Walled Garden will be open to wander around and will reveal the inspiration that ties my work together. In the studio there will be paintings large and small along with sketchbooks that reveal the creative process.

Birds, enchanted castles, mossy waterfalls, dragons and dryads are all to be found in my highly detailed paintings in acrylics or oils, inspired by myth and fairytale, by the landscapes of the Borderlands, and by my small jungle of a garden.

What to expect: Visitors to my upper floor gallery and studio beside the river Esk will see originals, limited edition prints and cards, as well as books I have I illustrated, work-in-progress and sketchbooks. A comfortable sofa aids contemplation of the paintings.
