Semi-abstract expressive sea and coastal paintings in oils, acrylic and mixed media based around the South-West Wight coast where I live. I enjoy painting intuitively and lately have been heading toward further abstraction. Always exploring different ways capture a sense of the places that I love. 

Originals on canvas, board, paper and fine art cards.

Next exhibition at The Corner Room, Fort Victoria, Norton, Yarmouth on Sat 30th and Sun 31st July

I grew up on the Island and had a talent for art from an early age. I left school to attend Art College in Southampton, but life took me down a different path and I actually ended up with a career in the Biological Sciences instead of the Arts. But when I moved back to the West Wight with my young family I finally had the opportunity to return to art full time.

I live in an area of real unspoilt beauty and am able to absorb its different moods and atmospheres all year round. There is something very special about being by the sea alone, surrounded by cliffs, birds and (often very!) changeable weather. When not walking along the coast itself I need to be painting it and when there I'm inevitably sensing ways to express it.
