I studied Zoology at Sheffield University and then moved into research at Cambridge for a couple of years. The training made me very aware of my surroundings and I love to analyse every detail of nature. 

Later, I learned about colour, design and art history through my experience as an art and antiques dealer and during that time I began painting and drawing. Now in Cornwall I have a large studio which gives me the opportunity to experiment but I do love painting the sea. 

When preparing for a painting I work outside, sketching and drawing speedily so that my response to the surroundings is immediate. ​

Where to find my work:
I am fortunate enough to have a studio gallery here in Tregonebris  where everyone is welcome.. All of the work on this website is available for sale unless otherwise stated. Please contact me for more details.
Other work can be viewed in two local hotels/restaurants The Old Coastguard in Mousehole and The Gurnards Head near Zennor.
