Welcome

I am a botanist, photographer and abstract painter. My photography ranges from people and landscapes to the world in close-up and through the microscope, and it is mainly the latter aspects that are featured in my Galleries here.
I live in North Yorkshire near the North York Moors and within easy reach of the Yorkshire Jurassic Coast, and the Dales of North Yorkshire and South Durham. Most of my photographs are taken within this region, the rest on visits to the Lake District, Northumberland and the Celtic rainforests of Argyll.
My photographs express my delight in our beautiful but cruel world; my paintings stem from my conflict with it and viewers may make of them what they will
