Contemporary Seascape Artist
I create luminous art that brings the colour, soul and serenity of the sea into your home.
I capture the magical, fleeting essence of light so that we can contemplate the beauty and intensity of these transient moments a little longer before the temporality of the setting subsides and disappears to time.
The paintings contain the delicacy of these fading moments so the viewer can connect to the same feelings of serenity and peace encapsulated in the work.

Original Paintings
A unique selection of Original Seascape Paintings inspired by the wild and abundant landscape and miles of sandy beaches along the Wild Atlantic Way

💫The painting journey can take you on a road of many twists and turns💫
🩵Some days, I doubt the process, but you just have to keep showing up🩵 leading a creative life has its challenges, but I wouldn't swap what I do for anything else🩵
💦Working on lots of new paintings for a Solo Exhibition in early May so stay tuned💦

💫Time to varnish..💫.. Oil paintings take time to dry depending on how thickly the paint has been applied💫
💫Colours dry at different rates, leaving the surface dull in areas.. this helps to pop the colours back out and is a layer of protection for the artwork 💫
💫Hope you enjoy the process – leave a comment below and let me know what you think👇

🧡what's on the easel today?
💦 This one feels like the waves are going to spill out of the painting and onto the floor😂
💫The process of painting is so immersive, I end up getting lost in colour-mixing and creating depth and harmony through light and shade that when I step back, I see the magic in it all💫
💫I never get tired of the beautiful shades of colour as the sun sets.. especially winter light💫
🧡I'm always aiming to capture the beauty in the smallest moments.. before they disappear and get lost to time 🧡
