ORIGINAL ARTWORK
I strive to capture light and perspective in my paintings and I particularly love to paint trees, woodlands, the seashore and clouds
with a sense of drawing the viewer into the scene. I enjoy building layers into my paintings by adding the more delicate detail
over the initial colour work to create depth and intimacy.
