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.
I have two paintings selected for the Penwith Gallery Associates Winter Show, which runs from 8th November to 4th January in St Ives.
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!
Currently in the Tolmen Centre, Constantine, with Karen Hemsley-Biggs and Sue Spence for a Helford Artists Group Show, until mid Dec.
New - Limited Edition Giclee prints (edition 25) of some of my most popular paintings now available on my Cards and Prints page. Paintings newly available in a limited edition are A Day at Durgan, Cheer, Bloom, Swimming in Pink, Bathing in Light, Marmalade Skies, Tangerine Trees.
