" Unloading the boats"

Welcome to my website.

"Drawing rather than painting, has always been my first love . Like most artists I fill endless sketch books with pen and ink drawings, bits of paper and scribbled notes. If I am away from home, at the end of the day I settle down with my drawings, ancient watercolour box and add colour. When I return home to the studio I don't look at the drawings for a while until I can see the images afresh.

Nowadays I include more figures, adding a narrative. I regard painting as problem solving, finding the drawing that makes my heart leap and trying to develop it into a composition of harmonious shapes and colour."
