My work is an honest attempt at recording the indescribable atmosphere present in wild places at certain times of day or night, historic landscapes affected by dramatic weather and light, and the excitement in sudden encounters with Britain's wildlife.

These subjects as inspiration for art work are traditional, but I believe them to be timelessly important in the experience of human consciousness. I try to renew attention to these universal experiences through the medium of watercolour, gouache and pencil crayon, employing a contemporary and graphically dramatic style.

I use detailed observational drawings to add authenticity to the final composition of each painting, but sensation and mood are of greater importance than photographic accuracy. Painting allows me to heighten colours and emphasise aspects of a scene until a picture blends reality with fantasy, in the same way that memories are both vivid and dream like.

I graduated with a BA(hons) in Illustration at Falmouth University in 2000 and have been exhibiting my work continuously eversince. 

In 2016 I appeared on the Sky Arts Portrait artist of the Year competition and reached the semi final of the Sky Arts Landscape Artist of the Year competition in 2017.

In 2018 I gained representation from Green Pebble greetings cards who continue to sell my work to a global audience.
