My current paintings are influenced by the natural world, soaking in the environment around me for inspiration - contrasts in light and shade especially . I love being outside and plein air painting is a great way of responding to the to the landscape - working quickly and making sketches in oils to sometimes work on in the studio.
​I work mainly in oil paint – sometimes acrylics too.
I enjoy working on commissions, whether a beloved pet portrait or a landscape that has a special meaning, it's a great feeling when a finished piece is handed to the person and I see how much they love it!
