| Drawn to Cornwall by the wonderful coastline and quality of light, I have been living and painting near Falmouth for the last seven+ years. |
| Using mainly oils on canvas, I try to capture a feeling of depth and clarity of detail in my landscape paintings. I love the effects of light on the sea and often attempt to paint the same stretches of coastline in different seasons and weathers conditions. I am as equally fascinated with dramatic skies, windswept beaches and stormy seas as I am with quiet rock pool microcosms. |
| Using preliminary sketches in charcoal or inks, and later building up thin layers of oil paint in my studio, each painting may take several weeks to complete. As I am inclined to continue adding and changing details at every opportunity, I find that finishing paintings can often be quite a difficult process! |
| In addition to commissions I have been exhibiting my work both locally and nationally in group exhibitions and one-man shows. Recent works have been exhibited at The National Trust's Trelissick Gallery , the Battersea Affordable Art Fair, and the Sims Gallery in St.Ives. Future shows are planned for the Mall Galleries and Alexandra Palace (please get in contact for details). |
