I am a plein air painter working in oils, inspired by the landscapes and light of Devon and Cornwall. I am deaf and have recently diagnosed with ADHD, my journey with art has been deeply intertwined with my mental health. After experiencing a mental breakdown, painting became one of the very few things I could do. It all began when my wife gently encouraged me to sit outside at Cawsand with an easel—since that moment, I haven’t been able to look back or stop painting.

My work is about capturing light and building journeys into my paintings. Painting outdoors connects me to the world in a way nothing else can, and I enjoy the challenge of creating artworks despite changing light and weather conditions. I work in oils and enjoy trying different processes of painting, learning from great artists and also pushing new artistic discoveries and mediums.

I have entered three plein air competitions, winning two and receiving a highly commended award in the third.
