My artistic journey begins with the vast and varied landscapes that surround us.

Whether it be rolling hills, majestic mountains, or serene meadows, each scene presents a unique harmony of colors, shapes, and textures. Through careful observation and a deep appreciation for the interplay of light and shadow, I seek to capture the fleeting moments of natural grandeur.

By layering oil pigments with deliberate brushwork, I aim to create a sense of depth and atmosphere that transports the viewer into the very heart of the landscape, evoking emotions and stirring memories.

My work has a very graphic quality and I look upon my work as a collaboration of various media, combining digital photography with traditional drawing and art techniques. Sometimes taking the process further by adding extra manipulation using digital software, creating imagery that is vivid, vibrant, and exciting.

Having lived next to the sea most of my life I find that it has influenced my work. I like to visit new places with my sketchbook and camera and document them in an interesting way.

Often taking inspiration from the use of photography, painting, and sketching outdoors, utilising the information to produce larger studio paintings either in oil, or acrylic.

Some of the works are held in private collections worldwide and they encompass a wide range of subject matter including street and bar scenes, although mostly depicting the East Anglian landscape and marine surroundings of the Norfolk and Suffolk Broads and the Norfolk and Suffolk coastline.
