These are examples of my range of work.

My gallery includes paintings that relate to a love of plants, an expression of the control of Covid 19, a small sculpture inspired by the microscopic views within organic life with color and organic form, and a tribute to local interest.

I love plants and am concerned about the loss of tropical and hardy forests. Therefore, I like to paint plant life as a kind of record in case of loss. Life issues such as Covid 19 were and are traumatic for our populations, and I felt like "Saving Lives" responded to the speed in which vaccinations were developed to control the pandemic - an assemblage of basic laboratory apparatus and a bed of vials for the product.

The painting of Wicksteed Park Goats was part of a project to promote Wicksteed centenary. I chose the goats in their pen because I thought they were a bit distanced from all fun areas. I like goats, and so they were my choice. I also liked the rickety-looking walkways.
