The Wild Ponies of Ravenstonedale, Cumbria, Northern England
'To me, wild ponies roaming free in the hills symbolise freedom more than anything else.'
'From country lanes to kitchen fires, stories in light, ink & flavour.'
'I capture the smell of nettles in the spring rain, the sound of the skylarks high above the fields and the taste of freshly picked peas from a kitchen garden. The feeling of cooking over an open fire in the farmyard while watching the wild ponies dance in the summer grass and having purple stained hands from picking blackberries ripened in the late summer sun.'
'Through my work, I hope to reconnect people to the wild freedom within the soul of the land and its unfolding stories. Stories told whispered by the land, in weathered hands and shared meals, like a set of sketches.'
