I am a Cotswold landscape painter, based in a studio at Painswick in Gloucestershire. I walk the valleys and hills, gaining my inspiration from the woods, meadows and hedgerows, painting ‘en plein air’ when possible. My aim is to capture the effects of the light on the land though the medium of oil paint with palette knife.

 

I try to find a way of expressing the wonder of nature and the landscape around me through the medium of oil paint on canvas. Nothing can replace being outside and experiencing the natural world in its raw state, but if I can at least capture the essence of it, I am happy. 

 

I have been exhibiting my work and painting professionally for 20 years, and show my work widely throughout the Cotswolds and beyond. You can also visit my studio gallery at:

 ‘The Loovre’, The Old Public Toilets, St Mary’s Street, Painswick
