STORM DAVID ~ notes from the valley
and sketching some slightly bedraggled spring flowers during the storm.
KEEP DRAWING
my love of drawing carries on and here is a detail of a frieze I did 249cm long in 2016. It was inspired by my visits to the Elan Valley lakes over a nineteen month period. To see it all of it please go to the drawing section in my artworks.
My article is in the SILURIAN magazine Mid Wales Geology club

notes from in and out of the valley:
This small sketch book A&E (affects and effects) was filled during March – September (when recovering from a wrist injury). Many thanks to artist Helen Garbett for inviting me to show the book featuring my limpet drawings, in The Limpetarium during her ‘The Human Limpet Project’. Please visit the drawing section to see some of the contents.
MAKING ‘a nod to the Carboniferous period’
this took me two years and I finished it at the beginning of this month. My finished piece became a photomontage. Please go to the ARTWORKS section 3D to see more about it.
Yarn appreciation
: I have fond memories of creating this small weaving sample produced during a textile design & technology course during the late 1970’s in Derby. To see more samples please visit the early work section and scroll down to weaving on this website. I still incorporate yarns in my artworks.
