My prime inspiration is atmospheric contrasts in light, shade and colour. These themes are explored in differing light conditions and locations around the world, through the bold use of watercolours and oil painting. The subjects vary from moody urban street scenes to sunlit coastal landscapes.

 

I experiment with technique and the interpretation of my subjects to try and create something special. With oils I am currently enjoying the buttery texture of the paint and observing the effects of applying "wet in wet" with a variety of mark making rapid movements. With the very different medium of watercolour, I am loading large quantities of water onto the paper and applying different pigments at different stages in the drying process to create some beautiful effects. 

 

Recently I have been exploring and painting in London and the South West of England along with completing a number of commissions. 

​

I am based in my studio in Gloucestershire where there are paintings available to view by appointment. My work is also represented at White Sails Gallery, Dartmouth, Devon.
