About me
Inspired by huge skies and ever changing light, I paint weather filled semi-abstract and atmospheric seascapes and landscapes in acrylics, aiming to capture a moment in time when our emotions are reflected in the elements.

Inspired by huge skies and ever changing light, I paint weather filled semi-abstract and atmospheric seascapes and landscapes in acrylics, aiming to capture a moment in time when our emotions are reflected in the elements.
Balancing fluidity with order, I like to explore the unpredictable nature of the paint by turning and tipping my surface - be it canvas or reclaimed wood - resulting in work that is often textured and tactile.
I often incorporate reclaimed materials into my work; discarded scaffold boards become my canvas, and driftwood and sea-rusted metal become boat sculptures embodying a sense of exploration and adventure. Ceramic details add to this narrative.
Born in Cheshire, a degree in graphic design from Liverpool Art School led to a career with London design agencies and founding my own business specialising in design for branding and print.
Now a full-time artist, I'm based by the sea in Folkestone, with influences ranging from Turner and Constable to Saul Bass and Cy Twombly.
Member of Folkestone Art Society.
