"The studio is my sanctuary, a special place where I can be alone and dream and allow the creative process to flow.  I enjoy the peace and quiet, no music playing just the sounds of the natural birdlife for company...and of course my constant companion, my little cocker spaniel Penny.  Often I will stare out of the window, which overlooks  the garden, and let my mind wander, it is here where I feel most at ease  and one with the natural environment around me."
