Inspiration for this collection is taken from days out in cities. Rooftops and bridges, backstreets and palatial architecture. Lighting plays an important part as it interacts with the metropolitan architecture, both old and new, inside and out.


Tales from Cities

Roads and Sky

This collection features views of scenes off the west coast of France. Inspiration is taken from the oyster villages of the île d'Oléron and surrounding Charente Maritime coastline, far from the usual views portrayed in postcards. Travel up the coastline to Loire Atlantique, rocky Brittany shores, through into Normandy  and up to the northern french fishing and ferry ports of the Channel.

Postcards from the Coast

This collection takes a look at the inside and outside of museums and galleries and the interaction of visitors within the spaces.

At the Museum

Abstract Moods

This collection looks at the abstract and linear forms created by the transparency and opacity of windows. The juxtaposition of seeing and being seen relates to our own being and the linear aspect to the obstacles we face in life.

Windows

This collection of paintings is inspired by the landscape within a three kilometre radius of an imposing silo that sits on a ridge, set in the beauty of the French Dordogne countryside.
