Welcome to my website, thanks for visiting.
There is a permanent exhibition of my work in the Sark Art Gallery, where my watercolours and collages are on display.
I live and paint in Sark, in the English Channel Islands, and hugely enjoy producing work inspired by life in these islands. Sark is unique, it's a tiny island, around 8km by 3km. There is only one paved road here, and no cars, just bicycles and tractors. For a small island there is plenty of wilderness to be inspired by; a wild, windy and rugged coastline, along with some enchanting cottages and lanes.
I mostly paint with watercolours; I love the immediacy of them; their light touch and translucency. Nevertheless I like to push my watercolours with strong contrasts, and lots of watery effects.
Aside from watercolours I've been having lots of fun with collaging. I tear out colours and textures from magazines, or paint my own colour samples.
You'll see, on my website, a gallery of African paintings. These were produced in Tanzania, where I lived for 25 years. I adored painting the landscapes, people and wildlife of Tanzania. I still have many good friends and fans of my paintings in East Africa, and continue to do commissions of African scenes, so do ask if you'd like a commission of an African scene.
I do take commissions, of people and scenes from all over the world, so go ahead and ask me, using my contacts page, if you'd like something created for you personally.
