Portraits in Ink and Tea. Thes Portraits in this series show human character often through the use of poise and plant symbolism, all are painted in ink and tea, apart from the vine which is painted in a combination of alcohol and tea. I really like the transformation done here, very clever design and quite humorous! I really like the steam punk theme and the mixed media incorporated into this theme, works really effectively.

The approach I take is often sculptural, and my outside spaces are characterised by a strong sense of line and form which is softened by the use of a mixture of ornamental grasses and perennials. Simplicity, distillation and attention to detail are my guiding principles, and the results are contemporary spaces, often with a bold sense of modernity, but which are always tempered by a sensitivity to context, history and ecology.
