Growing up on the Gower peninsula inspired my response to Geological forms which I have translated into hand building. My creativity materialises in irregular forms, asymmetrical beauty, natural shapes and colours. Ceramics in my studio means freedom and surprise; the opportunity to travel back with nostalgia and forward with excitement.

In my work I seek to represent and communicate my responses to world around me especially landscapes I have personal connections with. During lockdown that world became much smaller and I drew on remembered landscapes as well as still-life’s such as the daffodils, finding great comfort in both subjects.’

I trained as an architect and this is when I first became interested in watercolour painting. Following early retirement I was able to return to the medium and my work has been exhibited widely in Northern Galleries as well as the Royal Society of Marine Artists at the Mall Galleries, London. The Covid Pandemic stopped me painting as I could not get a supply of watercolour Boards and only manged to get a delivery in January of 2021.

I enjoy experimenting with new techniques and materials. During Lockdown I have particularly enjoyed finding different ways of mono printing and collaging.

A retired newspaper photographer, I have been teaching drawing for the last 20 years. Always preferring to make quick, simple images, the lock-down has enabled me to enhance this un-fussy style. Using ink and watercolour in this way, without white paint, I consider them to be drawings.

I have always loved watercolour painting, but I only got back into it following retirement .The Lockdown spurred me into giving it another try. Birds have always been another interest so I have tried to combine the two. I hope you like the results shown here in the exhibition. All birds have been seen from my window.

Daily routine during lock-down has included a walk starting along the canal (a few yards from the house) followed by painting, with background music. The canal has become my "Montagne St.Victoire" with other pictures based on walks around Wendover. Started painting many years ago after retiring from marine engineering design and operation.

I have created some Art during Lockdown, but find it non being on my own since 2004, Mind you, I have Susan from the hospital and Brian the computer Wizard both on call. Lockdown for me has been the houses at the bottom of my Garden being built for sale these last two years with telescopic cranes, roads dug up for water and gas and lorries starting at 7am and finishing at 5pm. Not an environment I can escape from with the restrictions in place..
