Statement

I paint in oils in the English Impressionist tradition. Much of my painting is done 'en plein air'. I have lived in Yorkshire all my life and often this is reflected in the subjects I choose to paint.

I was elected to Membership of the Royal Society of Marine Artists in 2016 and the Fylingdales Group of Artists in 2021.
