Hi, I’m Neil.
I’m an artist, writer, and lecturer with particular interests in using art as a vehicle for social and environmental connection, and exploring inter-disciplinary methods within studio practice.
My work uses walking, mark-making, and community building to explore deeper connections with the land, and search for an often elusive sense of time and place within ourselves, through the land. This usually involves facilitating sketchbook walks, where people come together to use walking and mark-making as a way to search, explore, and discover inter-disciplinary and relational approaches to landscape art through simple drawing processes and story-telling. The sketchbook walks are informed by my ongoing studio practice, which involves painting, photography, print-making, installation, and moving image, often in experimental and unusual ways.
Please use the menu above to see a selection of my work, or to join in on upcoming events. I’m always open for conversations about working in new ways, with new people, so please get in touch if you would like to discuss working together.
Cheers!
