Influences

I have been influenced and inspired by an eclectic array of painters and photographers, some of whose work I have seen in exhibition, others only through books. I've listed just a few of them below.

Trevor Bell - the latest book about him is fantastic

Nick Knight's ethereally beautiful photographs of pressed flowers in The Natural History Museum

Georgia O'Keeffe for her extraordinary flower paintings

Gary Hume for his colour, form and materials

Jo Self - for the inspiration she took from the flowers in her garden

Karl Blosfeldt - for the simplicity and strength of his plant photographs
