'For the last twelve months I have been creating work in response to the walks I take part in for 'exercise' in Lockdown near my home in Lancashire. The painting created celebrates the beauty of the local area, as we travel through different seasons and traverse the difficulties of the Coronavirus Pandemic.

I had a group crit as part of my MA solely on a text I shared and the painting 'Birdsong Symphony' which I have submitted. The comments recorded in this critique can be read on my Tumblr blog which is accessible through the social media link on my website and is under the hashtag (#paintings) for easier access.'
