Welcome!

 

 

I am an award-winning artist who is inspired by the natural world. I love being outdoors, sketchbook in hand, watching the wildlife around me: it’s a delight (and a challenge!) to then recreate the atmosphere and mood of the day on a two dimensional canvas.

 

Whilst much of my work depicts the wildlife and landscapes of the UK, I’m fortunate enough to travel with work and be able to paint habitats such as the Arctic  and Japan with their unique wildlife and flora.

 

I hope you enjoy some of the paintings here. Do feel free to contact me with any questions.
