Studio

I have been living and working in Newlyn, Cornwall, for 40 years, walking in the local landscapes and capturing their essence in paint.

Private visits to the studio can be arranged on request.

My studio space encapsulates my creative process: quick sketches snatched from glimpses of the natural world, stacks of smaller canvases constantly evolving, poetry books on the paint-encrusted floor, high ceilings and light complementing the sense of space in my larger paintings.

If you’re interested in purchasing a piece or finding out more about my process, please reach out via my Contact page.

The images I paint seem to be something that lies already formed deep in the unconscious memory, hidden but with shape and form, out of reach. Although I cannot consciously know these images, dreams or their nature their presence is real and demands expression through painting.

The imposition of my will on this would destroy the magic that is imagination and golden and cannot be thought up.
I have to follow and surrender to this force, unconscious will, that comes from inside. It is richer than anything else. The image is thus born in freedom.

A dreamland. Seen and remembered, lost and hidden.

My need is to find it.

In my paintings it acquires physicality, undergoing transformation into the colours of a dream world.
