I am a representational, realist oil painter with a loose, gestural and minimalist style based along the White Cliffs of Dover, where I grew up inspired by the seascapes of JMW Turner. 

​

I always wanted to go to art school but instead read English literature and History of Art, then I went to law school and ended up in the corporate world of fine art insurance. It was only after the birth of my daughter a few years ago that I was inspired to come back to painting. Rather than say I’m self taught, my learning has been undertaken through disciplined self study and virtual tuition.

​

My alla prima, ‘wet on wet’ oil painting technique comes from my love of colour, light, movement and texture working both from life and in the studio. Mostly I am striving to capture the mood and essence of a scene in as few brushstrokes as possible, with a limited colour palette that provides a clean harmony and calm minimalist sensibility.
