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.
