Silk Painter of Landscapes, Climate Change & Wearable Art

I am a British-born urban and environmental planner and landscape designer turned silk painter. I have a Masters in City and Regional Planning from Cornell University and Certificate in Landscape Design from the Landscape Institute, Harvard University. I received my BA (Hons) in Political Science from Leicester University, UK.

I am a co-administrator and a silk painter at Ten Pound Studio, Gloucester, MA. My landscape silk paintings are deeply informed by the lyrical and poetic landscape interpretations of artists Wolf Khan and Ian Hamilton Finlay. I am also deeply touched by the batik landscapes of silk painter Mary Edna Fraser who I met at SPIN (Silk Painters International) in Santa Fe August 2012.
