I am primarily a landscape painter working in oil and watercolour, based in Oxfordshire, UK.

I was born in 1958 in Great Dunmow, Essex, where I grew up with a love of nature and the countryside. Many of my relatives worked on the land and this has led to an abiding interest in the landscape, not just at home, but also around the world.

I studied Fine Art and Printmaking at Bath Academy of Art, Corsham. After college I moved to London where, as well as painting, I worked as a printmaker and etcher and as a scenic painter in the West End, before moving to France for five years.

I now live and work on the borders of the Cotswolds in Oxfordshire, producing paintings based on my experience and knowledge of the landscape and how modern farming techniques have impinged on the natural environment.

I have made a career from observation of the landscape and those that live in it. With like-minded people, I often go out into the countryside to count and ring birds, and to make records of numbers of butterflies and moths. This is an act of ‘bearing witness’ for future generations.

For the past 30 years I have exhibited in group and one man shows. I offer privates views of my current available works by appointment at my Oxfordshire studio.

These oaks were painted at the end of summer with autumn approaching. It Is more a painting of “Treeness” than of two trees.

Nightingale, you sing no more;

The tree you sat on is not there;

The night you sang has also gone:

And I alone remember you, 

Or am the nightingale tonight.

– Moon-rise, C. H. Sisson
