Hello,

I am a landscape artist, and my passion is to explore and paint the South Downs and corners of the Sussex countryside. 

I'm inspired by the their rolling hills and big skies, their chalky paths, windswept trees and meadow flowers. I seek out views that sing 'South Downs', whether it is just a snippet, or a much fuller piece. Each work is a labour of love, as I apply many layers of colours and thousands of brush strokes to replicate natures mesh of leaves, flowers and grasses.

A small painting can take a week, and a larger one a month. It is a miracle for me, to see each scene slowly emerge from the blocks of bold colour and tangled mess of strokes I start with, until the detailed, jewel like, finished view finally appears. 

My infrequent exhibitions, showcasing the stunning area we live in, are carefully curated to bring the joy of nature, in all its glory, across the seasons into a single place. They are a  chance to immerse yourself in our ever changing landscape, as the light, mood and colour, continually present new scenes, and perhaps take a piece of nature home with you too.
