'Trees in Winter by Richard Shimell is a wonderful, beautiful book. 'Angela Harding' A thing of beauty. 'Clare Balding' A wonderfully honest, evocative, inspiring book about a life transformed and enriched by nature and by art.' Sarah Waters. Trees in Winter is about the healing properties of nature and of walking, especially during the coldest season, when the inclination is for so many of us to stay indoors. It is also about the joy of learning a craft and practising it. Featuring over forty of Richard Shimell's stunning prints, this beautiful book captures the intricate beauty of British trees in the colder months.

Richard also shares the deeply moving, personal journey that led to him becoming an artist, as he reflects on how he connects with the world around him, and finds creativity through his walks in nature. 'Richard is a brilliant storyteller, his writing takes you through memories and moments as if you were there with him. This nostalgic and thoughtful read will make you want to grab a sketchbook head out into the countryside.

It reminds you how important it is to observe and absorb the wonders of wildlife and rural landscapes, especially those beautiful trees. 'Molly Lemon' Through the pages of Trees in Winter, Richard shares his prints and takes us on his own personal journey and how his love of walking in wild places and being a part of nature has helped him to deal with life. Richard also explains how these experiences have been instrumental in his becoming the professional printmaker he is today. This book is an absorbing read which spoke to me in many of my own life situations - I thoroughly recommend it!' Jane Spink' The clarity of Richard Shimell's words perfectly matches that of his pictures, making this a magnificent book in which to lose yourself, and succumb to the wisdom of the trees. 'Mike Parker' Emotionally resonant and impactful...

Shimell's writing is suffused with a queer sensibility, recognising as it does a world-altering distinction in ways of seeing - between what is and what yet might be.'IRISH TIMES
