Semi - abstract and expressive sea and coastal paintings mainly  in water soluble oils and mixed media. After years of producing small detailed works, I now paint freely and intuitively in larger formats, A lot of pieces are experimental as I want to capture a sense of the places that I love in different ways. Never quite sure how things will end up at the moment, which I like.

Originals on canvas and paper, some limited edition prints and fine art cards.

I grew up on the Island and had a talent for drawing and painting from an early age. I left school to attend art college in Southampton, but life took me down a different path and I ended up with a long career in biological sciences instead of the Arts. For many years I produced no art at all. I then moved back to the West Wight with my young family and finally had the opportunity to return to it full time. I'm so lucky to have this area of outstanding natural beauty around me and I need to respond to it most days by painting or drawing.
