Born of a Welsh naval captain father, all free time in childhood was spent in Wales and this fostered a love of Wales, mountains and the sea.
Work is often focused on exploring the contrast and interplay of elemental characteristics and energy. This is reminiscent of the Chinese practise of painting the \'spirit\' of a landscape, creature or object.
A variety of medium is used to emphasise the characteristics and in some work, is as important as the form that it relates to.
