Their shape, the movement of their lines, it's part of what captures my imagination when observing the beauty of trees. Their twists and turns, their stretchings out of tall exuberant branches, there’s a story in every nook and hollow of a tree. They reveal a body language of their own.

There's so much to be discovered by being present with nature, which is precisely why I love being amongst trees.
When stress and anxiety have settled in, being present takes more practice. Finding soothing company in people is not always possible as so many are filled with stresses of their own. Relief is a necessary thing.

While the original painting has been claimed, it's possible to avail of a limited edition giclee print. Visit my online gallery shop to find out the exact details and to place your order.

The stately beech tree which resided in my parents garden was possibly 200 years old. Graced by the backdrop of a majestic mountain it's presence was powerful and and conjured to the me a kingdom of it's own, which I christened 'Treedom' as far back as 2012. Treedom has been the inspiration for a number […]
