Werk: 

 " I grew up on a farm in a beautiful part of Yorkshire and as a child who didn’t go to school until I was thirteen, created a strong mythic and imaginary relationship with the elements and energies of the landscape. I see this as a foundation for my creative work and as the same awareness that is increasingly respected in the wisdom of the indigenous peoples of the world" (text website artist).
