I paint atmospheric and weather-filled seascapes and landscapes inspired by big skies and ever-changing light.
Balancing fluidity with order, I work with the ebb and flow of the paint, capturing a feeling of being in the landscape.
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.
I'm currently working on a collaborative project to highlight the problem of plastics in our oceans with artist Amanda Wood for Open Art Folke 24.
Member of Folkestone Art Society.
