I think the sea
must be in my blood , I’m never happy far away and most of my work is
based on coastal subjects here in Pembrokeshire . The theme of ‘Where
sea meets land’ is a favourite : the interaction and contrasts like
Fluid & Static, Rough & Smooth, Violence & Calm, Dark & Light, and the
wonderful turbulence at the seas edge when huge waves come thundering in
against rock and land.
Having selected a subject, I’ll strive to retain its particular
poetry or drama. People have said that what they particularly like about
my paintings are the abstractive but recognisable scenes and also the
emotions the paintings evoke; that they are accessible. Some comments
have been ; ‘I’m sure you hear this all the time, but your work is
stunning’ or ‘Thankyou for bringing so much joy with your wonderful
paintings’. I paint in oils and in watercolour, both large and small,
with boldness , sensitivity and rich colours .
