A collection of drawings and paintings offering a window into my lifelong love affair with nature. Named after the anthology “Devotions” by Mary Oliver, which draws together her masterful poems rejoicing in the power of living simply and connecting with nature. A celebration of the wild spaces and big skies that surround my home, and that more broadly symbolise our relationship with the natural world.

I believe that nature can be a great healer. In times of stress, it can comfort and restore us. It can uplift us and set our hearts and souls alight. But nature is also under threat and needs our help too. My hope is that my work may help others to connect or reconnect more deeply with nature. Through this connection, by noticing and delighting in the beauty that is all around us perhaps we can collectively work together to celebrate, protect and conserve our precious wild spaces.

Mary Oliver wrote that “attention is the beginning of devotion”. I hope that my work can help draw attention to the beauty of the natural world, it’s value to us, and our need live in harmony with it. We are all connected through nature, and in immersing ourselves in the landscape, we can rekindle our bond with it’s boundless lifeforce that ultimately flows through us all.
