I was born in Essex, lived in Surrey before moving to Devon.
Since childhood I have loved the countryside - These landscapes and seascapes capture the awe and fascination I have of the natural world.
I paint atmospheric landscapes and colourful seascapes inspired by the landscapes of Devon, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. As I work it seems as if the painting emerges on the canvas, like it was always there, waiting to be discovered.
Being out in the landscape and by the sea gives me a feeling of a place which I put on the canvas - like a celebration of the natural world.
Devon is a county of moors and coast which feature constantly in my paintings. I also travel frequently to the Isles of Scilly, an archipelago of islands 28 miles off the Cornish coast. These beautiful islands feature in many of my seascapes.
