About the artwork
I spent a month in the winter sketching in the North of Tenerife, where the climate provides the perfect conditions for a diverse range of cactus plants. The unique shapes and sizes of cacti never fail to fascinate me. Some cacti have tall slender stems that seem to reach for the sky, while others boast round or flattened stems. Although green is the most common colour, these plants also display surprising blue-green, yellow-green, and even purple hues. Each cactus has a distinctive charm due to its delicate skin, vibrant flowers, and intriguing spines. The way cacti slowly creep and grow into vast columnar or globular shapes creates a mesmerizing, semi-abstract pattern.Tenerife Cactus No 2

The garden is my inspiration for my art. I work both in pastel and oil. Pastels require minimal tools, just paper and a stick of pure powdered pigments held together by a binder.
