I think of colour as threads in the coastal landscape, dipping in and out, interlocked and inter-woven.

Sometimes the bold colours are replaced with ribbon gauzes and organdy passages that can end in frayed textual edges. 

All employed to conjure that moment in time and place.

Layers of paint are added to establish atmospheric coastal conditions – such as a moody sea fret, the waning of the day or the drama of sheer cliffs that have been shaped by wind and tide.

Some pieces are bejewelled with colour, as bright as a summer’s day while others are more softly painted to capture the fading light. Playful colour combinations give my work a distinctive voice.

My story is of a painter who loves being at the edge of the land, watching the skies and the light change on the sea. Forever fascinated by the sense of space and freedom that being on the coast provides. There is drama, joy and peace in these moments and in my paintings.
