These works have been inspired by visits to the far north.  Firstly Iceland in 2015 and 2016, followed by a residency with the Arctic Circle artistic residency in Svalbard in 2018.  Finally I visited Greenland in August 2022.  Each trip gave me a different perspective on the geology and climate of these wild and remote locations.  In Iceland I walked under and over a glacier, delving deep into an ice cave and seeing hundreds of metres of blue glacier ice above me.  I walked over the surface of a glacier in May at the start of the melt season and experienced the surface being awash with streams of water.  In Svalbard I had a life changing experience spending 3 weeks at sea, seeing many glaciers and watching the awesome spectacle of calving events.  The most recent trip to Greenland in late summer 2022 allowed me to get up close to icebergs floating in Disko bay, Ilullisaat. 

It's difficult to put into words how profoundly these experiences affected me, so I paint and hope that viewers will connect on some level with my thinking and feeling about how awe-inspiring, precious and vulnerable the Arctic region is.
