Long distance walks through beautiful places, looking to capture what I see and how I feel

Where did January and half of February go? The last six weeks have passed in a blur of activity. We got the fantastic news at the beginning of January that our grants for the arts funding bid to Arts Council […]

Coastal walks remembered in this new painting entitled Black Sea.
