MY WORK
Click on the images to view the paintings
I'm based in north Cornwall and work mainly in gouache and charcoal.
I previously lived, worked and exhibited in Northern Italy, and Bristol before that. My work is inspired by ordinary, everyday scenes, which become significant in their familiar nature. It could be a side street you always take a sort cut through, a van parked up, graffiti on a railway arch or a jumble of rooftops.
Whatever it is I love these little nooks and crannies surrounding us, and they become the real focal points for my paintings – the extraordinary in the every day.
I sell original work and some limited edition prints, and take commissions.
I regularly carry out commissions for individuals and organisations. If you have a favourite place in mind just get in touch, and I'll work with you to get the perfect composition and really understand the meaning of the image to you. I work mainly from photographs and will take fresh shots myself and / or use your own images. I always visit the location in the flesh and provide a sketch or two along with the finished piece. It's up to you to decide if you want the final painting simply mounted or framed.
Please do get in touch if you’d like to discuss an idea for a commission, buy an original or print, or some other aspect of my work.
