Come with me for a walk in the woods and I will introduce you to my favourite trees. Some of these veterans have quietly stood here for centuries. I walk between them, watch how they change through the seasons, draw them, talk to them and listen to them. I walk daily, often along the ancient tracks and holloways which traverse the landscape, forming deep personal connections with my surroundings. I am fascinated by nature’s reclamation of places influenced by human activity. I hope my closely observed images will strengthen viewers’ appreciation of the often-overlooked beauty around us.
