I'm a Cambridgeshire based landscape and wildlife artist, living on the edge of The Fens.
The Fens of East Cambridgeshire are my constant inspiration – the vast never-ending skies, the interaction of light on the flat landscape and the movement of clouds across the sky combines with an endless search for mark-making and vibrancy to create works of bold colour, strong contrast and a sense of movement and emotion.
I use brushes, palette knives, nails, credit cards and pencils to create marks on canvas and board, layering paint over these marks and working into thicker impasto paint to reveal the layers underneath.
I've been encouraged over the last few years by the online mentoring of Matt Tommey, an American based Christian artist who has a vibrant artist community. You can find out more about Matt and the community on his online artist directory:
