My paintings are inspired by the natural world, travel, and especially by the sea and coastline environments. I am fascinated by natural and organic objects, predominantly strong dynamic forms.
Colour plays an essential role in my paintings. Through an intuitive use of colour I create intense vivid images, reflecting dream-like qualities. My work continues to develop - from figurative to exploring more abstract ideas.
I was born and grew up in Cambridge and have settled here with my own family. A BA (Hons) graduate from Brighton in Art & Design; I am a member of Cambridge Open Studios, and have exhibited in both summer and winter exhibitions from 2006 to 2008.
