About the Artist

Growing up in the rolling hills of North Yorkshire and later the ultra-flat East Anglian fens I have always been absorbed by the landscape around me.

Indulging my love for geology which accompanied this interest in the Earth's surface I devoted half a decade to the study of Andaluthia's Sierra Nevada mountains during the early 1990s, using photography taken from NASA's Space Shuttle Columbia to help unravel its secrets.

Although no longer a professional Earth scientist I continue to be enthralled by the landscapes I pass through and these days I strive to capture their majesty with my camera from the ground.
