I am very fortunate to do two things that I love. I am both a local artist (who exhibits in Open Studios in Kingsclere) and I am also a broadcaster working for BBC Radio 4 in London. My art is varied and inspired by my work and my home life. At home I'm influenced by the amazing countryside around me (on the long walks with my dog Dylan) - the animals on the downs, the amazing kites and birds in the air. I also spend a lot of time in mindfulness and meditation. A good many of my pictures are based on these meditations, thoughts and imagery that appear in the stillness. I aim to bring a sense of calm, focus and awareness to my art.
