I am an Expressive Figurative painter working in oils and mixed media using a wide variety of painterly colourist techniques.
Paintings and drawings are built up with layers of gestural mark making using my distinctive palette of subtle and saturated colour, accented with impasto brush work, palette knife and sgraffito textures, juxtaposed with washes and areas of unpainted white canvas.
My two areas of interest are Women in society and semi figurative landscapes and seascapes.
ON THIS WEEK!

I've started the party season early with this Expressive figurative painting ELITE SYNCOPATIONS! A cocktail of sharp saturated colours flavoured with a touch of ambiguity!
Or for something more subtle... here I am in May working on a series of contemporary landscapes for my solo show IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF TURNER at Tennants Garden Rooms Gallery, Yorkshire.
Semi Figurative Landscapes
While responding intuitively to landscapes and seascapes en plein air, since my MA Fine Art, I am increasingly developing work into larger more semi abstract paintings in the studio focussing on celebrating and conserving rural landscapes, in my ELEMENTS OF LANDSCAPE series. Here are some examples :
The Strid, Yorkshire, Oil on Linen 71 x 41 cm £1250
Bracken Moor, Oil on Linen 46 x 46 cm £950
Cotswold Autumn, Oil on Linen, 41 x 36 cm £825
ELEMENTS OF LANDSCAPE - The Pond, Oil on Linen, 80 x 84 cm £1895
DIGITAL EXHIBITION AT GALERIE AGNES NORD, PARIS, DURING PARIS EXPO
A selection of my work, referencing the theme of CELEBRATIONS and my body of life drawings, is currently on show this October 2024 with ARTBOXY a Digital exhibition at Galerie Agnes NORD, 11 Rue Guenegaud 75006 Paris including showing during Paris Expo weekend:
Elite Syncopatioms, Oil on Linen, 112 x 87cm £2850
Carnival, Oil on Linen, 76 x 87 cm £1895

Over the winter I am at last going to start editing the 200 or so watercolour sketches done on location all over the world whilst working as Ship's Artist on cruise lines, adding amusing anecdotes and adventures on the way Here are a few examples
