In this series, the Cornish Loch has provoked some deeply felt feelings. Exploring a fresh, exciting, and unknown landscape in Scotland, I came to understand and feel it, by walking and sketching, which is central to my practice. I was walking through closed dark forest spaces with a thick mossy carpet and then back out to bright open vistas of the Galloway Hills, a dark-sky area. It resonated with me to challenge the concept of hidden and revealed, both in the landscape and in ourselves.

​

In our relentlessly busy contemporary world, I lose myself. I take myself out into landscape and nature, and there, I find myself again. Nature comforts, restores, and quietens my mind. I am in awe of all the qualities she provides. In my work I hope to champion “a voice for nature”.

This collection / series is an attempt to unravel those feelings.
