In 1991, I walked the entire South West Coast Path from Minehead to Poole—a journey that changed everything. When I reached Cornwall, I knew I’d found home. The raw beauty of the coastline, the ever-changing moods of the sea, and the deep sense of peace I discovered here captured my heart and have inspired my work ever since.
While Cornwall remains a constant source of inspiration, I’m now expanding my portfolio to celebrate the equally breathtaking beaches of the South Hams. Their golden sands, sheltered coves, and crystal waters offer a fresh perspective, and I’m excited to bring these new scenes to life in upcoming pieces that will join my collection.
I began by sketching my favourite spots along the coast, and what started as a personal practice quickly became a daily passion. Today, I still begin with watercolour and ink sketches made on location, which later evolve into studio pieces painted primarily in acrylics.
Whether I’m discovering a new viewpoint or revisiting a well-loved scene, I’m always drawn to the interplay of light and shadow—a constant thread in my work that reflects both the drama and tranquillity of this extraordinary landscape.
