Inspired by the contrast of the stark colours of the birds with their orange beaks and legs against the frosted jade of the water and the strange tranquility of the whole scene. I couldn't resist it !

I live on the Kent coast and have a view of the sea from my studio. I love this as it constantly supplies me with a plethora of inspiring material from the ever changing light and atmospheric conditions to the abundance of gulls, birds, wildlife and interesting seaside structures. For drawing I use pen and ink, which I find an exacting and time consuming but satisfying medium for detail. My first choice of painting medium is gouache as it can be used in a myriad of different ways from thin washes to heavier, more dense, applications. depending upon what I am painting. Most of the time I build up colours in layers of varying density to achieve just the right result. For sculptures I use clay, normally with an overcoat of some description, which I find allows me to interpret the subject more emotionally rather than producing an emotionless, cold, static articles. I tend to be attracted to human poise and movement with my sculpting and this medium suits the application well.
