Artist's Statement
"The paintings cover the Water Series, principally the wetlands of Norfolk around 'Green Hundred Stream', East Ruston, Cockshoot Broad, the River Bure, Great Somerton, Martham and finally the Rive Waveney, South Norfolk. The most recent paintings were inspired by travels to Australia including the Northern Territory and the Barrier Reef. These depict details of erosion and staining, sometimes millions of years old."
