Some new paintings have just arrived at Flint Gallery in Blakeney (on the Norfolk coast). This piece, based around the marshes near the neighbouring village of Morston is inspired by the evening high tide and fading light in the wide open skies of North Norfolk.

Most of my early childhood memories come from holidays spent around St. Mary’s Well Bay in Lavernock where my Nan kept a caravan. We would often walk the stretch of this coastline from Penarth to Sully, with my Dad telling us stories of shipwrecks and murderous sea captains. The cliffs and the bays had a raw Jurassic feel – a place to find fossils, investigate rock pools and dodge the incoming tide. Most of these holidays had more than their fair share of wind and rain – getting drenched just added to the danger and excitement!

An Image of one of my recent paintings has been used for the upcoming OPEN: OCEAN exhibition at the excellent Woodhorn Museum. As the title suggests, it’s an open art exhibition featuring artwork celebrating the North East coast seascape and heritage. The exhibition will be open to the public from 10th February to 7th May 2018.
The origin of this painting stems from a very wet and raw Easter in Anglesey. We spent a blustery afternoon walking the coastal path up through Moelfre towards Traeth Lligwy, watching the waves foam and crash around the rocks beneath. Pale jade water brewing under a slate grey sky…

Some new work just arrived at the Flint Gallery in Blakeney. This piece is modeled with Bonnie, who was a little sad to see it go (I think she liked the way it matched her blanket!).
