My brother Paul and I offer a warm welcome to our Artweeks exhibition every year. In 2024, we'll be open 12noon to 5.30pm on 4, 5, 11 and 12 May. We invite you to come and see our creations in my light and airy garden gallery.
I continue to be inspired by the natural world. I love colour and life! And tea!
My paintings and drawings comprise observation & imagination, colour & calm, light & shade. As well as original works of art, I( have signed prints, greetings cards, tea towels, jigsaw puzzles, coasters, and other goodies available.
Come and visit us in May 2024 - have a cuppa in the gazebo, wander around my beautiful garden, and check out the pond full of tadpoles.
Easy parking | Space to tether horses | Very well behaved doggies only thanks, as we have two cats on site.
I make colourful, vibrant paintings inspired mostly by wondrous things from the natural world - birds, animals, trees, landscape, anything that takes my fancy. I’m unfeasibly fond of maps.
I was born in Stratford-upon-Avon and travelled widely before coming to study in Oxford decades ago. I made Oxfordshire my home and have been here every since. I taught myself to paint in my 30s. My ‘natural’ medium is watercolour, but I also use gouache, acrylics, acrylic inks, and I love printmaking using the drypoint technique. I especially admire van Gogh, Gauguin, Hockney, Matisse, and 17th century Dutch and Flemish artists.
For more than a decade, I have been hand-drawing and hand-painting maps. In 2016 I won a prestigious award from the British Cartographic Society for my map of the Shipping Forecast. In October 2021 'Bird Migration Map' was featured on the BBC's Autumnwatch!
