Original oil paintings inspired by Devon, Cornwall & Somerset.

Evocative landscapes capturing the feeling of a first impression of light, memory and place.

Living in the Devon countryside, I am surrounded by shifting light, meandering lanes and hedgerows, and beautiful coastal walks.

I paint using a limited palette to capture that fleeting first impression; where colour and form catch the eye and imagination.
