The sea, the sea
It’s my soul restorer, the place I go to blow out the cobwebs, it’s my happy place and my dramatic place. It’s the place I go to in my mind when I’m feeling wistful. It’s a place where I can breathe deeply and relax.
​
I love the coast around Rottingdean (East Sussex) with it’s under cliff walk way. It looks fantastic when the tide pulls out leaving beautiful rock pools. It gives such a fascinating contrast against the sea. In some of my work, I use crackle paste to help create a wonderful depth and texture to my paintings.​​
The South Downs
The South Downs in Sussex, always hold a special place in my heart. It’s the views I grew up with.
Summer’s days spent ambling along chalky paths with the backdrop of buzzing insects. Grasses waving in the breeze, the smell of freshness and the seemingly never-ending days.
Perfect memories, for a beutiful place.
Textures and flow
I love experimenting with shapes and textures. The way paint flows and merges, creating wonderful patterns and contours. Applying very fluid paint, I use rulers and palette knives to drag the colours over each other. This interplay of the paint helps to create wonderful formations which fill me with joy.
