My art work is about expressing my passionate love of and connection to nature and the need to protect our fragile ecology. I aim to communicate the mood of the place and subject through the use of light and colour and simplicity of brushstrokes, being always honest to my emotions.

​

Sketching and painting outdoors whenever I can, gives my work a directness and impulsiveness due to the need to paint quickly, energised by heightened emotions, and the need to trust my instincts.

​

I like to get under the surface of whatever I paint; hence I paint landscapes which I regularly physically interact with; walking and cycling in the New Forest, in all weather conditions. I am also excited by the intense light and heat of the Mediterranean, and I have been lucky enough to lead panting holidays across Europe during the past few years, and this has opened up my palette and provided me with dramatic light contrasts.

​

I have a wide art teaching career with 10 years’ experience of teaching art in a secondary school and I now run the ‘New Forest Art School’, teaching daily lessons and courses at Wilton and Ringwood.

​

I also tutor painting holidays in Europe with ‘Shades of France’ holidays, as well as offering my own bespoke painting holidays.
