Capturing the glow and movement of life

Where Do I Start.

I paint from home in the heart of the New Forest with my two dogs Lumi and Juno, although they are more troublesome to me than a help.

I love paint landscapes and animals, especially pets which comes from my love of animals. My passion for painting landscapes come from me growing up in Wales. I spent my youth being drawn to the fields and beaches of the Gower Peninsular. Escaping the city to surf and relaxing in the fields around camp fires absorbing nature, the sea and sunsets. And it’s the form of fluid waves and bright rich colours of sunsets which has become a strong influence and method in my work today using bright bold paint laid down in thick fluid brushstrokes in an impasto impressionistic style.

I later sampled many creative forms during my BA Art and Multimedia degree, and later commencing a successful career as a wood carving selling work worldwide.

Now in the New Forest surrounded by beautiful landscapes, I’m never short of inspiration.
