What would the world be, once bereft
Of wet and of wilderness? Let them be left,
O let them be left, wildness and wet;
Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet.
Gerard Manley Hopkins
WELCOME
The purpose of this site is to share some of my paintings, prints and drawings with my friends and those interested. I grew up with a great love of the natural world, spending time camping in the American South West and, decades later, in Britain, studying the medicinal properties of plants. It was only in 2010 that I began to work at translating what I saw into a picture. For me, drawing and painting is a meditative process. Looking and seeing enables a quietness and harmony to arise.
