About

My lifelong love of the sea and the edges of the land was inspired by my childhood. I was born in Hartlepool and spent most weekends exploring rock pool on the beaches of the North east Coast or walking on the North york Moors. Now living in Sheffield I make frequent visits to the North East, especially Staithes for inspiration and I long to live by the coast again.

When painting I aim to capture the textures and atmosphere of the land and seascapes that are so much part of my life. I am attracted to the 'edges the land', this maybe the coast or in the form of rocky edges. My paintings are of places that I know very well and visit over and over again, both literally and imaginatively. Capturing them as they are exposed to the extremes and intensity of light.
