2015 was a tumultuous year for me, with most of my energies being focussed around my mother, Monica, who died in May. The ripples continue to wash over and through, and have influenced my choice of images for this year’s calendar.

She was a determined person who loved colours and patterns, and paid close attention to detail. My selection draws on these themes.

Here are three images from 2016.
