I love to paint outdoors, immersing myself in the sensory qualities of light and colour, to catch the pulse and poetics, of the Devon and Cornwall land, coast and seascapes. I aim to evoke these numinous yet fleeting qualities, the spirit, vitality, and zest of life, in my oil and mixed media paintings.
I gather the dancing sunlight and chasing shadows, the splash and ripple of water, wind whispering in trees, veils of colour traversing land, sparkles of sunlight crossing seas and the glow of an arriving dawn. Momentary delights.
I have found there to be a quality of presence, simply being with whatever is emerging, from the most simple and mundane moment to the most dramatic, whether sorrowful, beautiful or exquisite, reveals that there are indeed a thousand names for joy.
