“I like to bring a sense of quiet energy and awe to my paintings. I want my viewers to be moved in the way that I am when I see a stormy sky or the way I feel on a windy day at the coast. There is a sense of leaving aside the troubles of life when we walk out in nature especially by the coast.
I am lucky to live near the North Norfolk coast and this area features heavily in my work. It is a source of constant inspiration and provides all I need in terms of colour, contrast and luminous light. These are the elements that make us feel emotional connections to paintings.”
