Artist’s Statement:

I paint mainly sea and landscapes from around Purbeck and Dorset’s Jurassic Coast line – places such as Lulworth Cove, Durdle Door and Man O War Bay. I use acrylics on canvas and every now and again I use mixed media. I am always excited about starting a new work, a bit scared as well…… that blank white canvas is a bit like starting a journey without being sure that all the directions are right! Colour, light and shape play an important part in my journey across the canvas. I always hope that the finished work will add those dimensions to a space or room and generate an emotional smile or a quickened heart beat in response. I have always believed that art should add a little joy to life and if mine achieves that…. then I’m happy.
