This is a limited edition print of 50, sized 21cmx21cm . It shows a wild and excited boar diving through the undergrowth on a colourful Autumn day. It is made using my collage techniques from the words of a poem by John Clare.

Animals and wildlife inspire a great deal of my artwork and so I have dedicated a series of collage paintings to some of the animals I have seen when out walking in the Nene Valley where I live. Some of these have appeared in my garden or down in the lakes and meadows of the nature reserve nearby. Some I haven't seen in a long time like the red squirrel.

All though are wonders of nature and build a rich tapestry of life which none of us would be without. These cards are made so that we can all be reminded of the joy of the natural world.

The Nene Valley stretches from West Northamptonshire all the way through Peterborough and has the Nene river flowing through it. The landscape is surrounded by lush farmland and old villages with hidden footpaths connecting them together. I have always used this landscape as the basis for my artwork showing the wildlife and hills of my home.

My artwork frequently uses a range of mixed media techniques that have also incorporated words. In recent years this has become more important and now collage is a major part of my work which often uses words poetry. The lines of various poems have been woven into my imagery - segments of which can be read.

The wide range of habitats such as wildflower meadows, wetlands, marshes, woodlands and wet grasslands are full of a diverse range of animals and birds. These offer endless inspiration for my artwork on a daily basis as I live right on the edge of a stunning nature reserve near the towns of Higham Ferrers, Irthlingborough and Rushden.
