Highland Cow Pastel on paper 86x66 framed One of my favourites, she still grazes in the fields around me on Dartmoor and produces beautiful calves every year.
Collage on paper 90x70cms, paper size Another member of the beguiling Corvid family, and, like the crows and ravens, also known for its intelligence and problem-solving abilities. Collage seems to give them the extra heft they deserve: this one is made from hand cut paper pieces in all the blues and blacks and greys that make up the feather colours.

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
I love watching the new fledglings emerge in the spring, learning to fly, learning to be grown ups. And charcoal really shows the layers and shapes of the feathers. 56x76cm Charcoal on paper Framed
I love foxes and am very pleased to introduce The Fox Box. Each of the eight images is taken from a series of fox portraits that I have made over the years - from my garden, from the city streets and from the countryside.
