I have always heard songs when looking at landscapes. It has
inspired my need to be creative. I see in landscape the rhythms
of our journeys. They are visual images formed by layers of thought
and experience, and this has become my language - my way of describing who I am and where I have been. I am a mapper, a storyteller. The works tell of places that have moved me. Sometimes the feelings are fleeting, but powerful. Other times understanding takes longer and the paintings emerge slowly as I walk/dream them
into being.

This exhibition at the Milltye Gallery in Sudbury, Suffolk, tells a story of time. It is a visual map of my life, of seeing and painting. It is my history, and where I am now.

All of these works are watercolour on paper. Watercolour is an ethereal medium. I love it's strength of colour and its inherent
vulnerability. It evokes the 'dreaming'.

The exhibition will run from Saturday 18 April - Monday 25 May 2026

More information about the work will be available soon.
On Thursday 14 May I will lead a workshop at the Milltye Gallery.
