Working mainly in the graphic media of drawing and printmaking, his work can vary from narrative images of crumbling buildings, lined faces and a variety of creatures to evoke a sense of mystery and tell their own stories in a manner that is sometimes surreal yet familiar, to a fascination with the landscape its’ own sense of time atmosphere and place ‘genius loci’ and our place and effect on it.
