Torrential rain streams down my windscreen as I cross back from East to West.  But I am still filled up with the flat sunshine of Suffolk fields; the sense of the enormous space of sky on a WW2 airfield.

I have been artist in residence at Old Jet studios in Suffolk. The warmth of my welcome; the bright light and space in my temporary studio; the freedom to create away from responsibilities was a huge privilege and joy.

My work focused on a figurative image I had drawn earlier from life: the woman sitting facing away from us, ‘grounded’ by the square wooden boards I was working on.

Inspired by stillness, serenity, and a sense of myself, I created a series of paintings in a mixture of materials and of course colour.
