During an artist residency in St. Agnes on the Isles of Scilly, I spent a blissful day on the most perfect remote sunny beach, with a white seal pup for company. It felt like we were both waiting patiently for his mum to return from hunting. Quietly, deeply, I felt a universal truth, a feeling connected to everything. When confronted with the vastness, I looked to the rock pools to ground me, inspired by a friend's framed print by EQ Nicholson depicting a woodland rock study. I was seeking an objective reality that holds true across all contexts, cultures, and times, serving as an interconnected part of a larger whole. It was a unifying thread that stitched me to something so vast reminding us all that we are part of something greater. In North Norfolk, this truth appears in the saltmarsh and high-tides. Everything waits in time, seeing sunlight as well as the shadow.

Regardless of subject matter my work revolves around the nature of power, and the fleetingness of time. My evocative paintings invite a deeper look reflecting upon the impermanence of life and the forces of nature. I paint brilliant light and deep shadow, the far horizon and the passing of time. I am drawn to the delicate, the broken, and the most fleeting, echoing TS Eliots Four Quartets and delves into themes of time, purpose, fragility and meaning. I like to encourage the viewer to feel themselves a part of the landscape. I am drawn to the delicate, the broken, the underdog, these are timeless motifs and possess a powerful resonance.
