Beyond the ordinary
This is where my journey takes me. Get to know my Art and the passion and love behind it...get ready for a few fun abstract pieces too!! I'm glad you're here to be a part of my story.
Girl in a black hat
A young girl in blue slacks, a pale blue shirt and large black hat stares pensively at a setting blood red sun, while the water sends waves towards her which crash against the sandy shore. She is safe from the power of the sea by being behind man made concrete barriers
This is a new direction for me as I have included a person in the makeup of the piece.
Where the light falls
A luminous moon breaks through layered clouds above a calm mountain framed sea. Its pale light scatters across the water in a shimmering path, set against deep violet skies and dark coastal sillouette this painting brings the atmosphere of a quiet nocturnal mood.

Lewinnick a la Austen
on the 21st October 2026 I breakfasted at the Lewinnick Lodge, this was the day that storm Austen hit our shores and on leaving the lodge I spotted many white horses galloping towards the shoreline.
The skies were topped with fast moving fluffy clouds but my way was stopped by a Keep Out sign due to coastal erosion. I was captured by the beauty and power of the storm while protected from its worst by a simple sign. I took some photographs and when I returned home really liked the composition of the fence being included - hence it has been kept as a focal point.

Biography
After a full career in the Corporate arena I returned to my first love, that of painting.
In my youth, I was lucky enough to have Paul Bainbridge MRSS, as an art teacher. Paul is now a renowned sculptor. Here, with his guidance, I was able to trial all types of artistic expression, but I always returned to painting. Watercolours were my initial medium, but I now find that the acrylics can give me the best of both the oil and watercolour worlds.
Returning to painting, I Initially tried painting Earth subjects like plants and trees but after visiting Feurtaventura, in the Canary Islands, I fell in love with the ever changing beauty and temperament of the sea; one minute, tranquil and peaceful, the next tempestuous and dark!!
I now recognise that my true passion in art is Oceanic and have the luxury of living on the Newquay coastline, so I have plenty of inspiration. I must also mention the impact that other artists - especially photographers - have had on my work, from my sister, Judith's amazing photographic eye to the Cornish drone photographer whose ability to capture atmosphere in a moment has been truly inspirational.
My aim now is to be able to share my vision and passion for the sea through art and hope you will like my paintings.
