DrawingPainting

I have always loved to express myself and my emotions in my art. I trained as an architect and taught Theatre Set Design briefly but eventually joined the RAF before settling in Devon where I found the time and space to reconnect with my creative side in the studio. My canvases often depict the ocean and all its inhabitants and I aim to capture their energy, colour and life. Often my paintings reflect my mood, they are personal and unique.
When I am not painting, I turn to drawing, heavily influenced by my architectural roots, I capture images of homes, special places and buildings. Some of my drawings are commissions, others simply to capture their beauty and unique qualities.
