Frequent trips to Brittany help me connect to the sea.  There I can be found sitting on the beach or clifftop, sketchbook in hand.  From a selection of my sketches I make small gouache paintings.

In studio oil paintings I abstract qualities of the sea, with no human elements, emphasising its boundless freedom and emptiness.  I create the painted surface, letting the paint express the moods and rapid changes of the sea’s expanse and the hard or soft edges of the horizon.

This collection celebrates our connection with the natural world and our collective love of the sea
