ABOUT
I am a representational 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.
​​
My alla prima, ‘wet on wet’ oil painting technique comes from my love of colour, light, movement and texture working from life, from imagination and in the studio. I strive to capture fleeting, transient moments and the changing elements in nature: the sea, the sky, clouds, sunrises and florals. The challenge being to record the mood and essence of a scene in as few brushstrokes as possible, with a limited colour palette, clean harmony and calm minimalist sensibility.
​​
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. Since then I have maintained a steady art practice mainly working in my home studio and outdoors in my local area. I am exclusively represented by Taylor Jones & Son in Deal, Kent.
