The very best moments of walking amongst trees can leave me lost for words as I reach for the camera or sketchbook in order to capture what can often be a fleeting moment. The photo/sketch may lie dormant for weeks or months but once triggered passes through a series of graphic transformations all leading towards the closest proximity to the original scene that grabbed me.

It’s an ironic use of a trees burnt offerings-charcoal- in order to record its beauty!

Many works were created through being a member of The Arborealists, an inspiring group of dedicated artists.
