About the Artist
Having lived and worked on the Isles of Scilly for most of my life I have recently re located to the North Pennines in Cumbria. This presents new and exciting painting challenges which I look forward to
I owned my own gallery on the Isles of Scilly for over twenty years and have exhibited extensively throughout Cornwall.
I have also exhibited with the Royal Society of Marine Artists at the Mall Galleries and am currently on a four year successive streak.
In 2018 I exhibited with the Society for Wildlife Artists
I have been painting full time for over twenty years. Working on location and from my studio.
Generally, I look for simplicity in a scene. Rendering just enough information to give the viewer the sense of being there. To help me capture this feeling I believe it is essential to paint on the spot in front of the subject. Only working in the studio once I have an intimate knowledge of the subject. Rather than have a predetermined method or procedure I like to be spontaneous and let the landscape influence how I paint.
Work is available direct from from me at Silver Street Gallery on the Isles of Scilly, the Customshouse Gallery in Porthleven and the Waterside Gallery at St.Mawes
I also currently exhibit in galleries in west Cornwall and various art societies. Most recently at
the Mall Galleries with the Society of Wildlife Artists
