Welcome to my place by the Severn, the inspiration for my art, writing, producing and workshops. The river has flowed through my practice for many years and this site reflects that relationship. Please view the menu to find what you are looking for and get in touch via the contact page.

when neighbours visit #newhome for first time, and I say it is fine to look around the house. Having forgotten that an artwork about Dolly the sheep, from my masters days, was just drying out in the bathroom basin. The skull was found next to the Severn at #Shepperdine. Liquid light photographic gel applied in a darkroom - the #goodolddays In the light of Dollys successful cloning, I decided to use her skull as a #dressmedolly - which I played with as a child. I loved the paper tabs that fixed the clothes. My Dolly shown here has spots, beehive patterns and snakeskin on it. Part of a series of "I Shed My Skin, I Regenerate" body of works. Tempted to look up her children now!! #newhome #newstudio same village. More @clearwellcaves @clearwellcaves sculpture show. Perfect stage set for these works! And of course the #ochre there is #beautiful #geology #sculpture #exhibitions BSAopen2022 Still from my film Bev D - soon to be shown in Stroud from 2-10th July and opening at @blackswanarts 15th July - 11th September. One of my favourite films, it features a great soundtrack by @andrewheatharts that creates a distinctive rhythm to this slow moving, hefty dredger as it works at dusk and dawn, to align with the tides. How exciting! I am delighted that my film Bev D, with a soundtrack by @andrewheatharts has been selected for Black Swan Open. You will also see the film @svajohnstgallery in #Stroud at #severnworlding.

I am going to miss the view of the -#Severn and the #Cotswolds. But look forward to a studio. Life is never #blackandwhite #blackandwhitephotography More #artistfilm experiments. Enjoying lull before storm of moving house. Time to pack up studio soon and create a new one. There’ll be a lot of painting to do on walls! #artistvideo #art #studiolife #monochrome #blackandwhite #blackandwhitephotography
