As an artist: My local Jurassic coastline and landscapes are a natural inspiration for me. As a keen walker I constantly observe the changing quality of light and weather patterns that transform the natural environment surrounding me. My aim is to try to capture the mood and atmosphere of a place in my paintings and to revel in the awkwardness and power of nature.

I often begin with a fairly accurate visual representation of a place, but then let a series of random and controlled processes take over my painting until my work feels emotionally comfortable to me. Sometimes this can be within a couple of hours, but often I work over days or weeks. My art is a constant enjoyable challenge for me which enriches my everyday life.

My work is displayed in local exhibitions and galleries – most regularly Sou’ Sou’ West Gallery at Symondsbury and with Bridport Art Society
