“My work is a celebration of light filled moments revealed in rich and vibrant oil paint using my personal visual language of fresh and direct brushmarks. Painting en plein air is central to my practice but I am equally at home working from a model, still life or interior. I find beauty in the ordinary, mundane and intimate rather than the grand vista. Coastal locations, domestic interiors and gardens and allotments provide me with rich and endless subject material. My approach is one of simplicity and economy, striving to make every mark count in my earnest pursuance of capturing the poetry of a fleeting effect of light.”

Hello and welcome!

Hi there!

Whether this is your first time landing here or you're a frequent visitor, I'd just like to say thank you for dropping by and I hope you enjoy my website! You're in the right place if you want to find lots of information about my work and the latest news of workshops, exhibitions and events. I have an extensive online store here selling original oil paintings, my own books, DVDs, calendars and greetings cards, all sent from the studio with love, and worldwide shipping.

If there's anything that you're looking for that you can't find feel free to drop me a line.

New for 2023 I'm working on a range of downloadable video demos, and you'll be able to find those on my website very soon. Those on my mailing list will be told as soon as they're available. 

And brand new small paintings are available to collect now from trips I've been able to enjoy this year. There are also some bargains to be had on older work that is still lovely and fresh and a treat to hang in your home.
