For the seas, rivers, woods
and their wild inhabitants

ARTWORK & PRINTS

I use an ancient painting technique combining Indian ink and salt to create images that mirror the flow and movement of wild places and their inhabitants. Prints available in 2 sizes, all using archival paper and inks.

My work invites you to move into a lived, attentive relationship with the land. Through writing, art, and grounded teaching, I offer a path back to relationship: with animals, birds, wildflowers, rivers, and seas.

Whether you’re reading my books, walking through one of my courses, or living with one of my artworks on your wall, this is work designed to reawaken your relationship with the earth.

BOOKS

The paperback of TWO LIGHTS was published in July 2025. The book was nominated for the RSL Ondaatje Prize for writing about place. 

Poems and drawings. First published in 2022.

Modern life disconnects us from the living world. I believe creative and attentive practice can be a way back.

My work is about living simply, connecting to place and the more-than-human world.
