In September 2001 I was fortunate to receive the Robson Art & Design Masters Award from Sunderland University.  This award has enabled me to investigate  the relationship between the North Sea and the landscape of Northumberland.  I am currently exploring the history of the area and its connection to the area of submerged land known as Doggerland.   I am creating work looking at the land from the perspective of an incoming traveler, ie the view from the sea.  and I am filming and photographing the sea from  my kayak to create source material for work that combines painting with traditional and digital lens based techniques.

To date I have made 3 experimental films which can be viewed below along with paintings and photographs
