I cannot imagine how difficult the last few months have been for everyone who has been stuck indoors. I’m someone who cannot be inside the house when it is sunny, and who craves the soothing and reviving sensations of the outdoors throughout the day. I have felt truly lucky to have our garden to escape to throughout lockdown, and wish I could provide the same for others.

In a way, all my art attempts to bring the dynamic experience of nature to the viewer. Whether you’re still adhering to lockdown and staying indoors, or you are craving a break from the cityscape, I hope that my work provides a welcome distraction.

I’m now posting to Instagram and I also have a virtual walk in through the countryside on YouTube, which I hope you enjoy.

Stay well, everyone, and I hope that one way or another you are able to take comfort from the natural world.
