I walk daily in the quiet of the countryside and beaches of Cornwall with Bunny our wonderful Whippet, it gives me space to formulate ideas.

Cornwall has amazing light and its beautiful colours from the wintery white misty greys to the amazing sea blues, golden beaches, and lush greenery all filter into my paintings through the subconscious. I don’t paint this tree or that hill representatively but let it churn around my mind and work its way on to the canvas.

I also paint the ‘Walker,’ contemplating and observing natures gifts.
I love to swim in the sea and enjoy the endorphins from the cold that clears and calms my mind, allowing space for invention.

I paint in oils, acrylics and mixed media and make drawings, collages and sculptures, the drawings being spontaneous and more immediate as opposed to the slower layering process of painting.
