I live on the edge of a grouse moor near Masham, North Yorkshire, with my husband, Jonny, two daughters, Hebe and Ruby and our assorted horses, lurchers and poultry.  Where we live matters to me.  To be able to ride and walk the moor in all weathers and then re-create what I have seen in the studio is fulfilling.

I am passionate about the countryside and committed to country sports.  It feels natural for me to try to capture the beauty and movement of animals and game birds in bronze and silver – they are either in my kitchen or minutes away just over the garden wall.  Seeing how they move and how they spend their time never ceases to inspire.
