The beautifully poetic French word for twilight is ‘l'heure entre chien et loup’, or ‘the hour between the dog and the wolf’. The phrase describes the approaching dark as a time when things move from familiar to wild or when the failing light means it’s hard to distinguish between a dog and a wolf. These words feed my passion for our natural world and describes perfectly how light changes everything, which is why I became a photographer.
After a career as a commercial photographer within the art, interior design and marketing industries I was honoured to have my work accepted into the National Portrait Gallery's permanent collection. I am now dedicated to producing my own artwork for a growing audience.
Influenced by the use of the Chiaroscuro technique to emphasise depth, mood and creativity, I only use natural light to convey my narrative, which is to capture with honesty the beauty I see in the shapes and textures of our natural world. With nature seemingly at a knifes edge, I draw comfort from the bond created, together with a new understanding from within my viewfinder, oblivious at the time of other surroundings. I choose the finest art papers, FSC/PEFC certified, producing a superb tactile velvety texture in the finished archival print. Small editions for collectors, gallery's and interiors.
For 2023 I will be situated in a gorgeous separate room with its own entrance set within a beautiful 18th century rural inn where you be able to visualise artwork in a room setting. The pub has a great restaurant and gardens open for coffee, lunch and dinner, with ample parking. You will be able to have a coffee or even a ‘tipple’ after all your hard work on the arts trail!
