I am a contemporary artist based in Newhaven, East Sussex.

 

My paintings are free and expressive, bursting with colour and movement. 

Sketching ‘en plain air’, my work is influenced by the light and energy of the ever changing environment. Working with a fresh contemporary palette, my paintings are an extension of my sketch book and become a dance of mark making and a call and response process.  Each mark or colour bouncing off previous lines, strokes and textures. Pieces develop with different shapes, scales, line quality, spacing, tones, and colour, capturing the fluidity and movement of the sea near my home, but also its harmony with the connecting grasslands and countryside.
