Welcome
Thank you for looking at my paintings.
I work in a variety of mediums and, whatever I'm painting, try to capture the essence and texture. I enjoy the weathering of materials that takes place over time and to see nature reclaiming man made structures and machinery. Partly for that reason I love beach huts, particularly those at Mudeford Sandbank Spit, where the wind and salt air continually batter the huts creating wonderful surfaces and layers of colour on the metal and woodwork.
I was lucky enough to own a hut on the Spit for a while. It was wonderful to stay there out of season when frequently my dog and I almost had the beach to ourselves. I miss it very much.
I also love the look of old canal boats; allotment sheds; ruins; derelict buildings and old, rusted machinery and frequently haunt scrapyards looking for subjects.
Having had to move out of my comfort zone for 2 exhibitions last year, I'm now exploring new subject matter and working on a series of "found" portraits and still lifes.
Commissions are welcome and, while I prefer to do these from my own sketches and photographs, will also paint from other people's reference pictures. Commissions start from around £150.00. Please contact me for more details.
Please also let me know if you know of any locations you think I'd enjoy working from. I welcome new inspiration and challenges and the chance to explore.
