Art inspired by the Helford River
Welcome to my website showcasing original art inspired by the beautiful Cornish coast, particularly the idyllic creeks around the Helford River which I am fortunate to call home. I work mainly in oil paint with cold wax medium, both in the studio and plein air.
Gallery news - I am so excited to be joining the Summerhouse Gallery, Marazion and my first paintings will be in their upcoming "Unframed" exhibition which opens on 25th October and runs until 1st January. More to follow!
