Exploring our relationship with nature and landscape, Kit's paintings and etchings find refuge in the pastoral and surreal, leading you down lanes into dreamlike landscapes. He follows in the British romantic tradition, walking the lanes trodden by Samuel Palmer and the Neo-Romantics of the 1940s.

I’m interested in the sense of mystery that lies beyond our surface appreciation of the world, the moments of heightened perception that can come upon you when you are out alone in a landscape, the strangeness of a distant wood on a hill, the history hidden beneath your feet, the ability of landscape to give you goose pimples, the secretive domains of birds and insects, or the fleeting connection between you and a fox as you interrupt each other on a country path.


Kit's work is shown across the UK, and has been selected for the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, The ING Discerning Eye, the National Open, the National Original Print Exhibition, The Masters (Etching) and is referenced in several publications including The Romantic Impulse by Gerard Hastings and The Poetic Impulse – The Etchings of Samuel Palmer, with Selections by his Peers and Followers. He is represented at The Works on Paper Fair and The London Original Print Fair by Elizabeth Harvey-Lee.
