Artist Statement

We lived in Otford in 1999 when I was pregnant with my son Ben. It was the perfect place for an artist and a new mum. This is the view driving from Helensburgh to Otford. The road to the valley, this Winter’s day there was mist near the road looking over to the horizon of the ocean.
