I was
born in 1951 at Catterick, Yorkshire and began
travelling the world at 6 months eventually stopping
in 1964 when my family settled in Huddersfield, West
Yorkshire. |
|
I now live in Scholes,
high in the hills near Holmfirth, a wonderful,
typical Yorkshire town nestled in a pleasant
valley in the Pennine hills. Landscape in abundance,
stone walls aplenty, weather every day. A very
bohemian oasis amid the once black stone of this
mill valley. |
|
The people are a
fascinating mix. Artists abound, I think it is the
encouragement that the very landscape oozes that attracts
them. I am certainly inspired by the countryside
that surrounds me; the colour of it, the shape of it
and the very presence of it. |
|
The addition of a camera
to my artist's 'toolbox' has opened up a new, creative
avenue, enabling me to see and capture images in a
more immediate way. It will never replace drawing or
painting but allows me to capture and present
moments that appeal to me. |
