Having grown up in Cornwall, and now living in Devon for many years, my paintings and prints are inspired by the coastal landscape that surrounds me.​ Layer upon layer of colour and texture form as the light plays on the rivers. moors and sea. As I swim and walk along the south west coast path, I embrace the nature around me, especially the birds flying overhead. Through my art, I try to recreate the sense of peace I feel when in nature. It is this peace I try to capture in a painting for you. I love working en plein air and usually have my dog Joey beside me when out and about. As I work, in my mind, I am always in or near the water.

​I am interested in the relationship between art and well-being and love to run creative art workshops in the Seaglass Gallery, which is my small independent East Devon art gallery in the estuary-side village of Lympstone. It is a very special place. On Instagram I am @ontheforeshoreartist so if you want to come on my art journey with me, do follow me there.
