Into The Forest

I woke up this morning with an urgency to get into the forest and witness Autumn before the next deluge of rain and wind stripped the trees of their golden treasure. So to the woods I headed and enjoyed a fantastic day of walking and breathing in the seasonal scented air in Cropton Forest. The day remained dry but earlier rain brought out the contrasts in colours against wet darkened wood. It was beautiful and the paths we trod were free of any other inhabitants.

 

 

Walk This Way - Beverley Art Gallery

After a wonderful year of creativity with nature I have started to reflect on some of the highlights. The year started with a fantastic opportunity exhibiting at Beverley art gallery with a body of work which was the culmination of three years as Artist in Residence for the Yorkshire Wolds Way - a celbration of the 40th Anniversary of the National Trail. Here are some of the pieces shown.

 

 

After walking the entirety of the trail many stages were revisited to gather plant from along the walk. Documenting in plants and print the flora of this beautiful walk recorded in prints and artists books
