My main artistic influences come from working outdoors, indeed, most of my paintings are produced at least in part on
location, even in winter, with light and colour playing a major role in my work. Favourite subjects tend to involve water, I particularly enjoy painting by the River Thames in Central
London and views from the banks of the River Wey in Surrey.
I have written several books so far, all being
published by HarperCollins alongside a DVD with APV Films. My fourth book - 30 minute Oils
was published in February.
As a teacher I run
workshops and painting holidays both in the UK and abroad, teaching mainly in oils and
acrylics.
Currently
Chair of the Maritime Art Group, I am also
a professional associate of the SAA and an exhibiting member of Guilford Art
Society.
