I’ve been a professional artist for 15 years, first exhibiting at the Mulberry Tree Gallery in Swanage, Dorset, in 2009. My paintings are drawn from life, mainly in the UK and most frequently along the banks of the River Thames in Surrey and on the hills, fields, cliffs and beaches of the Isle of Purbeck in Dorset
I enjoy painting people at work or play and have painted actors and players at Hampton Court Palace (one of which hangs in the Royal Real Tennis Club Members’ room ) and familiar faces in Purbeck. My most recent painting, “The Gardeners”, shows volunteers preserving and improving the Water Gardens in Bushy Park near Hampton Court. Earlier this year, I produced and donated a series of five paintings to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Swanage Life Boat Station. These are shown in the My Work section of this website
Do please note that the Swanage RNLI team owns the Lifeboat images to use, display and reproduce as is useful and so please contact the Station if you’d like to see them framed and “in the flesh” or even purchase an original or a copy
Much of my work (originals, prints and cards) can be viewed and purchased throughout the year in the Mulberry Tree Gallery in Swanage, Dorset www.mulberrytreegallery.co.uk
I’m also pleased to accept commissions
You can also buy my paintings and prints by contacting me via this website
