I live on the Isle of Portland, the southernmost part of Dorset’s famous Jurassic Coast.

A self taught artist, I have always loved drawing, capturing the detail of animals and nature. Over recent years, oils have become my preferred medium for painting, especially for seascapes and landscapes. I enjoy glazing layer upon layer in order to capture the effects of light, be they subtle or dramatic. A more direct approach is required when working en plein air, and I often employ the use of pen, ink and watercolour when out and about with the sketchbook.
