Marine, Landscape & Botanic Paintings

After gaining a Degree in Painting and Ceramics at Cardiff College of Art followed by a career in Art Education I now concentrate on Painting alone.

Generations of my family were seafarers whose common ground was the sea, the shore and the harbours of this world. I thus feel an affinity with these areas. I am drawn to the shapes and patterns of boats both big and small, to the quays,the harbours and the cliffs. Most of my paintings are based on these visual images, but often using colours divorced from their reality but which I feel give an added stimulus to the painting.

I have exhibited widely over the years, paintings are in private collections in Wales, England, France, Hungary and the U.S.A. I most recently exhibited with the Royal Society of Marine Artists at the Mall Galleries, London.
