About

I’ve painted throughout my life, and my daily walks with my dog spark many of my ideas—especially my recurring fascination with roads and paths. Living on the Cornish coast for the past few years has given me endless inspiration. From cliffs and sea views to woodlands and riverbanks, it’s all right outside my door. My work is process-led: I use acrylics and experiment with a range of techniques to create rich, vibrantly coloured abstracted landscapes. Painting intuitively keeps the process exciting and often leads to unexpected results.
