I am an artist who has fallen in love with the light and colour in the world around me.

I seek to capture the soul and essence of a place and delight in the fine atmospheric subtleties of the English landscape and equally with the brilliance of light and the colours observed at home and abroad.

I have been inspired by the charming scenes found in Devon, Kent, Norfolk and along the Cornish coastlines and also by my travels abroad where the heat, light and high energy from the holiday makers have all contributed to my fascination in 'capturing the moment' in my beach scenes.

I spend much of my time walking and observing the rhythms of the natural world and love to paint and draw the wildlife that I encounter. More recently I paint all subject matter though, it is not just the landscape that interests me. The essence of my paintings are inspired by the interplay of Light and Colour in all the world around me.

My approach to watercolour painting is a collaboration with the pigments and myself....I love the spontaneity of letting the pigments flow and then working mindfully to achieve the visual impact and emotion that I wish to express.

My first love has always been with watercolour, however I am always learning and experimenting with different mediums, Oils, pastels, coloured and graphite pencils and alcohol inks and I strive to gain as many skills as possible so that I can truly express my love of the natural world around me.
Art for me will always be a continual process of experimentation and practice, it's a wonderful lifelong obsession to create art and express my feelings and experience of life.
