Having spent twenty-seven years on the Yorkshire moors where the light was often subdued
and overcast, I arrived in Australia and was immediately struck by its brilliance and by the
intense blue skies and seas.
A constant source of inspiration for my paintings is the continually changing moods of the
sea and the quiet wetlands and inland waterways with their abundance of bird life. The
Australian Outback has also inspired me with colours that vibrate in the morning and evening
light – bright reds, oranges and purples contrast with the deep blue of the sky. In spring, the
Outback comes alive, bursting into a brilliant carpet of colour.
Australia is a land I truly love and I am passionate about capturing its unique, breathtaking
scenery.
I usually paint with acrylics on good quality stretched canvases. My style and technique
varies and I respond to my subject matter with very realistic to semi-abstract images.
It is my desire to produce paintings that you will find uplifting and will add peace and serenity
to your environment.
