“My appreciation of trees probably originates from my father, who loved trees and planted many in his lifetime. Of course, the wonderful thing about planting a tree is that it will usually go on to live a lot longer than we do, all the time ‘giving’ in so many different ways.
In my work I’ve always tried to convey the physical beauty of trees, but also highlight the neglect and decline of this essential life form in the face of the modern world.” In the Words of W.H. Auden; “A culture is no better than its trees”
