"To paint is to express the innermost thoughts and feelings which cannot be captured by word alone"

My paintings are born from a love of being out in the elements, especially the areas surrounding where I live. I interpret the experiences of time spent surrounded by the sights, sounds and feelings of the natural world.

My inspiration comes mainly from the South coast of England; beautiful Dorset where I'm based, picturesque Devon & dramatic Cornwall.

My influences come from a wide range of artists whose styles vary from expressive impressionism through to abstract and include J.M.W. Turner, Vincent Van Gogh & Kyffyn Williams. Although I focus mainly on painting, two sculptors, Henry Moore & Barbara Hepworth have influenced some of my abstract work as well as Ben Nicholson & Peter Lanyon.
