Seasons of Art and Nature

Art and inspiration from the British countryside - nature journaling, wildlife, and folklore.

Welcome to Seasons of Art and Nature - my creative journal where art and nature meet.

Here I share glimpses from my Yorkshire studio and pages from my own nature journal - the sketches, colours, and stories that grow from the changing seasons.

Each post is a quiet celebration of noticing - the birds and wildflowers, the folklore that lingers in our landscapes, and the calm joy that comes from creating by hand.

Whether you’re here to discover my latest artwork, find ideas for your own nature journaling, or simply pause for a moment of beauty and reflection, I hope these pages bring you a sense of connection to the wild, creative world around us...
