I have always been drawn to the challenge of landscape which for me is to transform the visible and actual into compositions that acknowledge and reflect the multi-layered personal and human experience of place.
These works are about certain significant places that I have lived in or visited in past years.
Sketches done at the time were the starting point for these new works and the resulting variety of forms came about as I strove to let each place and my questions about it work on and through me.

Homelands is an eclectic mix of street views, pubs and old miners cottages, in and around Dudley, which gives the suburb its uniqueness. The banality of the simple urban backyard is my inspiration.
