Drawing, mixed media, painting, photography, printmaking
My early inspiration comes from living on Dartmoor for many years and now from the countryside and coastline around South East Cornwall and the Scillies. I've always been drawn to wide open spaces. In the 90's I studied painting under Ray Atkins at Falmouth School of Art where I gained a BA in Fine Art.
I find I work best when I am on the spot, in front of what I am painting. Something might catch my eye...the morning light across the fields, the shape of a shadow, the colour of a tree or the glistening sea. A fleeting moment snatched...there is generally a struggle to get it all down quickly before it disappears. I work in oil or gouache outside and often return to the studio to work up larger paintings in oil, adding and removing the marks on the canvas until I feel a sense of place emerge...painting for me is always about looking and feeling the relationship between land, sea and sky - feeling it, seeing it and just trying to capture it there and then.

I draw my inspiration from the Cornish landscape and think of my work as poetic and sensual: visual conversations.
