Biography

My work has evolved from a great passion of exploring light, colour and texture. With Impressionism and the natural world as a constant inspiration, I create richly textured oil paintings using only a small painting knife.

Working with a sculptural approach I aspire for the viewer to feel embraced by the scene, and just for a moment, stand by my side to drink in the view.

I work with an insatiable energy in my personally designed studio, situated in the heart of the Tamar Valley and have had the fortune to sell work worldwide.

My studio in Cornwall is a place of sanctuary and inspiration. Having personally designed and project managed its build, I walk in each morning with great joy.
