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.
Out now is the latest issue (37) of Drift magazine, and I am thrilled to be the featured artist to promote this year's Cornwall Open Studios. Click here to read the article.
Delighted to say that three of my paintings have been selected for the St Ives Society of Artists Spring Open, on at the Mariners Gallery until 7th June.
My next exhibition will be for Cornwall Open Studios where I am looking forward to welcoming people to see my work where I create it. This year I am very excited to be part of the Helford Artists Collective art trail of six artists all based in Mawnan Smith, inspired by this beautiful area - click here to view the map of the trail.
