A storm rolled through the south coast of England on the morning before the annual Round The Island Race in June 2006. With an early start to catch the first of the ebb tide the larger and faster yachts were first away. As they sailed west towards The Needles at around 5:30 am, the storm abated and the sun began to break through the clouds creating an almost mystical range of colours. the potential warmth of the sun being tempered by the cold, steel blue of the sea and the foreboding purples of the remaining storm clouds. It's a race I've competed in many, many times over the past 30 years and with around 1500 or so yachts entering each year it remains one of the largest participation events in the world.

Born London in 1969, I grew up being encouraged to draw and my school studies ended up concentrating on art related subjects.I moved to the south coast of England in 1992 which enabled me to develop my experience in sailing and other outdoor sports.Having always created work in either pencil or pastel, in 2002 I decided to teach myself to paint; initially in watercolour and soon received a number of commissions. A year or so later I took the opportunity to paint full time. I now work predominantly in oil with some drawings and intricate sketches in pencil. I also indulge in a little photography, too. My inspirations may not always be reflected in my work but I list J Steven Dews, Shane Couch, Jamie Medlin, David Curtis, Montague Dawson, Steven Dews, Derek Gardner, Ian Houston, Robert King, David Sawyer, Peter Smith, Richard Thorn, JMW Turner, Vettriano and John Webster as some of the painters whose work I observe closely.
