I work in a variety of media. I often paint with acrylics, but I also make hanging mobiles using shapes laser-cut from acrylic sheets and photocollages using my own photographs, for example.

​

For about 15 years the main theme of my work has been the sky and flying. Learning to fly a glider  has made me conscious of the wind, clouds, air pressure and thermalling. I try to find ways of expressing these air movements and the perspectives of looking down to the Earth from above. 

 

Another perspective on flying has come from my uncle - a phot-reconnaissance Spitfire pilot in WW2 

who gave me his flying logbook and his medals. I have used some of his photgraphs in my work.

Unless we reduce the carbon dioxide we are increasingly putting into our air our grandchildren will live in a planet facing the great extinction of human beings.

Now my main aim is to communicate the nature of the thin blue line of the atmosphere.
