About Me

I am a Whitstable artist and explorer of things. I love to intertwine various mediums, textures and subjects. My artwork aims to evoke a sense of connection between the viewer and the natural world and it’s important for me to capture the essence and beauty of the places I visit. I like to find treasures such as driftwood and shells that have been washed up by the tide and collage them in a way that looks as if that's how they were found. A convergence of things.

The sea, beach huts, and expansive open skies of my home town, Whitstable, are where I find most joy. I am captivated by the textures of the sea defences, the sway of the seaweed and the light on the mudflats at low tide and I try to evoke this in my paintings.

We used to have a miniature long haired dachshund called Elmo and I often painted him (you can see some of the paintings in the Dogs section)! I take commissions and paint or draw other people’s dogs. Whilst I would rather meet your dog if I can, I am very happy to paint or draw them from photographs if this isn’t possible. More info under Dogs heading.

I also make collages of maps on found objects - I can make one of your town, your village, your street, to order. Please just ask.
