I love flora and landscapes, birds and trees. I love the singing of the blackbird in the evening, the smell of honeysuckle and the taste of wild strawberries. I am passionate about gardens and the importance of harmony with nature for our lives.
my whole life i worked in the creative industries, as a designer, artist, illustrator and teacher. my own work i developed with a focus from a very large scale like landscapes towards smaller scales like gardens and eventually flowers. As I grow older I zoom more and more into smaller scales.
