It's been fascinating to work on this series of Collage Hares, giving me so much freedom to choose the colours and make the printed paper to use for the cutouts. It's very painstaking work carefully retaining the anatomical structure while going all out with exuberant colours. Hare 6 Collage on paper 46x61cm Framed

I was hiking in the Lake District last year and came across these beautiful Herdwick sheep. Tightly wrapped in their pale woolly coats against the winter cold.
To my great delight this summer, shrews have been coming into the studio while the door is open (along with birds, bees, butterflies and dragon flies.) I hope this means I have a healthy population of them in my garden. Pastel 42x29.5cms Unframed
