I grew up in Newlyn and Hayle in Cornwall. My paintings explore the Cornish coast from a local viewpoint, catching sea views from afar, from in between coastal architecture or through the windows of buildings as you pass by. The sea is an important factor in my work, even if the predominant surface on the painting depicts a pebbledash wall, or the hustle and bustle of village life. I am fascinated about the purity of nature contrasting against the hard lines of humanmade structures. My style is both loose and defined, energetic brush strokes and textural fluidity describing accuracy and detail. I have an inquisitive nature, always exploring, which is evident through my body of work to date.
