I was born in London, but my childhood on the Isle of Wight inspired me to work from the elemental landscape and world around me as a free ,direct and natural way of learning and enquiry - I grew up influenced by the painter David Bomberg and his sense of approaching nature through drawing as a tool to establish a poetry of 'form' as an interconnected reality.
