ABOUT ME

Painting outdoors in oils and directly from life is what drives my work. As a plein air painter, it is the feeling of light and the experience of analysing and interpreting the landscape that I want to come through.

Working in the moment to capture the essence of the scene, every brushmark and colour decision is a response to my observation and feeling of the landscape around me.

Born in Middlesbrough in 1981 I gained a BA Hons in Fine Art at Northampton University in 2003.  After moving to Newcastle upon Tyne I completed an MA in Fine Art at Newcastle University in 2007 and a PGCE in Art Education at Northumbria University in 2008. 

I am a founding member of local painting group Plein Air North East and can regulalry be seen painting outdoors along the North East coastline that is a continuous source of inspiration for my work in oils.
