Location: Barnstaple, North Devon. Formal training: 1982-1983 North Devon College - Art and Design (B-Tec). My paintings are regularly exhibited at Medina Gallery (Barnstaple) and at Gallery at 500 Feet (Lynton).
As an artist, I am often drawn by the aesthetics of a subject. Whenever I see something that is visually interesting, such as a woodland setting, a beautiful building, a landscape or a stunning coastal scene, I will try to capture that subject as perfectly as I can onto canvas, using either oil or acrylic paints (my two favourite painting mediums), and include as much detail as is necessary, paying particular attention to the quality of the light and how colour is reflected by that same light. I mainly paint seacsapes, landscapes, woodland river scenes and architecture. In terms of inspiration, the beauty and drama of the natural world will always charm and awe me, and that is the main reason why painting landscapes and seascapes hold such appeal for me: it is the challenge of interpreting something that is picturesque from the living, external world and painting it in as naturalistic and as realistic a way as possible.
