Walks, mainly on the Sussex coast and River Adur, plus the influence of Brighton culture on the beach, have led to abstracted seascapes and river scenes.
Earlier work in the collection has focused on scene setting, with later imagery looking at the changing environment beneath, locally and globally including a series on the melting of the ocean ice caps.
''Coast to Coast:: Saltdean to Shoreham' , just shown as part of Brighton Open Houses, is a visual journey from clifftops, through Brighton'.s resort to the breakwaters of Shoreham.
Under development is a series based on houseboat communities along the Thames path, near Reading, based on regular visits (to be added later).
