Hello!
I am an artist based in Devon, UK. My practice focuses on blurring the boundaries between realism and abstraction where I like to create work that captures the essence of the subject within my particular way of working.
I work by sketching in the studio and outside, developing ideas, bringing them back inside and working towards finished pieces.
My focus is on colour, new explorations and mixed media, at the same time I strive to combine traditional techniques with contemporary approaches and materials to create one-of-a-kind artworks.
I hope that my art is accessible to everyone and creates interest for you the viewer.
I invite you to explore my gallery and see what catches your eye.

Testimonials
"Your work does indeed blur the lines between abstract & 'real' in a very sophisticated manner.
Yes, it is 'accessible' but with no loss to the work's drama or aesthetic standing."
