When I paint my spirit is let loose...
Read the new article "Finding sanctuary" in Drift Journal Issue 51, December 2025.
I am a landscape artist based on the Helford River in Cornwall. I paint outside, using gouache, and bring these to the studio to develop into larger acrylic and oil paintings. I studied at the Slade School of Art and moved to Cornwall in 2020 to become a full time artist.
My book of paintings Helford Sketchbook #1 is available to buy. The first edition is now sold out, however the second edition which is a lovely format that fits well on your bookshelf is available and can be ordered here. A few of the original plein air paintings from the book are still available, and I have also recently been working on a new collection inspired from this book, scaling up selected paintings in acrylic. You can see these here: My Helford River- new collection.
In 2025 I completed the Newlyn School of Art Professional Landscape Programme and exhibited in the group show Sentinel at Tremenheere Sculpture Park.
Below is a selection of available recent works, also check out the Paintings section to view more.
