Living by the sea becomes a constant inspiration for me with all of my work, whether it be painting or sculpture or mixed media piece. I always seem to be trying to express my fascination for the sea in whatever I do. It's a constant ebb and flow for me as I record it in whatever way I can, since it is the main influencer in my life. With the sea, comes boats and sea faring people and this painting was the result of living and breathing the marine atmosphere of my surroundings. The moonlight adds a dramatic touch to an almost surreal scene with a little white boat illuminated in the moonlight in the foreground with a stretch of land beckoning in the distance. My seaside town has many little boats and I enjoy wandering the promenade, where they are landed ready to launch, to read the names that people have given them. Mostly they are girl's names but one has to smile at some of the other given names; saucy or boastful! My little boat is called Lisa (after Mona)! I hope viewers will feel the calmness and serenity of the painting which was intended to represent a journey as well as record a beautiful moonlight evening scene. I wanted to give it an air of mystery and a sense of something about to happen. I've always admired both Leonardo and surrealist painters such as Seurat which influenced my style.

I work in a contemporary way using figurative, impressionistic, expressionist and conceptual styles to create my unique artworks. They are a combination of both paintings and sculpture and sometimes mixed media . There are elements of imaginative surrealism combined with real life experiences within them. I often utilize found objects such as reclaimed board from the coast to paint on that bear the patina scars of the sea's ebb and tide. As a multi-disciplined artist, I use a variety of mediums and media to make paintings and sculptural artworks. I like to paint in watercolour, synthetic polymer (acrylic) or oil on paper, canvas or board. I also create sculptures using natural or found objects. I live by the sea in South Wales and my work reflects the light and ambience there as well as referencing the UK coastline. Through exploring the beautiful Welsh coastline, the sea has become my central theme and inspiration for my paintings with its eternal ebb and flow as a constant fascination for me. Travel and visiting different places also inspires me and acts as a starting point for a lot of my work. I travel when I can, especially to surf coasts in Australia, where I document my experiences in my sketchbooks which are then used as reference for work in my studio at home. I studied Fine Art under British Artists Maggi Hamblin, David Hepher, Roger Ackling and Annabel Nicolson, all of which whose work I admire greatly. My other influences are Frida Kahlo, David Hockney, and Pierre Bonnard whose paintings tell a story about people and places. I also love the work of Leonardo Da Vinci, Sandro Botticelli, Gwen John, Andy Goldsworthy, Chris Drury as well as many others to numerous to mention! Each year, I enter the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and my painting "A Polar Bear's Survival Plea" was exhibited in the 2022 show.
