I work in oils on canvas, linen and wood panel. Atmosphere and light play a special role in the endless inspirations that surround me either in my landscapes, Seascapes or Still life subjects. These can be instantly recognisable or an expression of the feelings I get when painting the image before me or how I imagine them to be. I have received awards and special commendations and I have exhibited and sold work both in the UK and internationally to many collectors.

My main love is of the sea, the ocean waves and the skies, which has been the main focus of my most successful work. Painting is like breathing - a main component of living, much as the sea seems to be combined with clouds above it. Until recently I lived for many years by the coast on the south coast in Dorset and have walked that coast line, in all weathers, absorbing the movements, vibrant colours of these, my favourite elements. Much time has been spent in Spain too, on its wilder coastlines with its intense colour, evocative and ever changing skylines and oceans.
Education:
I started my career in the late 1970's in Architecture and Interior Design and during that time often produced visuals for clients depicting various room designs with water colours (pre computers) which they often chose to keep. Later I took a fine art course at the City Lit in Holborn, London and following this in 2007 in a career change, I became a professional artist turning to the medium of oil paints. I have been practising ever since striving to improve and continuing to learn, evolving more and more as time goes by.
Awards & Distinctions
A high point in my career was being commissioned for a number of my paintings, by the Board of The SHASHOUA Foundation. The private collection of artworks was exhibited globally until the recent death of the founder ROGER SHASHOUA.
Artistic Influences:
I have attended numerous workshops in London, Cornwall and Florence to hone up and I have been influenced enormously by what I have learnt in them.
