“Being Outdoors in the environment gives me the direct connection to the world around me”
Whether walking along the stunning coastline on my door step or in the nearby New forest I have always loved incorporating my passion for foraging wild foods into my excursions

“Look deep into nature and you will understand everything better”
Having managed the Jetty Restaurant in Mudeford for over a decade run by Chef Patron Alex Aitken, provenance of produce and sourcing wild foods is at the core of my ethos, which links me to the landscape and environment that I love to paint.
Whether that is samphire and sea beet foraged from the shoreline, scallops hand dived or the beautiful bounty of edible fungi that our forests hold amongst other seasonal delights through the yearly wild food calendar.
It is my passion for art and foraging which i feel live in synergy for a life and love of the outdoors that i also want to share with you within my story too.
Watch this space for for a forthcomig seasonal calendar and foraged wild foods.
