My fascination with the effect of light on surfaces began after a number of visits to the island of Antigua. I became interested in people involved in their public lives in the market and streets of St Johns, in the minutiae of objects surrounding them, the packaging, and what was being sold or discarded. I was struck by the rich colours and patterns of clothing and the effect of strong sunlight on them. This fascination has continued with further explorations of the effect of light on people, landscapes, buildings and on vegetation.

You can see my complete Antigua series in the People section of this website. In the same section you will also find a series of paintings of fishermen in the Moroccan port of Essaouira. In the Places section are paintings of landscapes in France and buildings in Turkey, Croatia and England. Finally in the Plants section there are paintings of plants in the Jardin Majorelle in Marrakech, Morocco and also of plants here in England.

I have used gouache exclusively in my work as it is especially suitable for the slow build-up of details and for expressing sharpness and clarity of light.

My work has been exhibited in Antigua and England and many of my paintings are now in private collections in the Caribbean, in England, France, Australia, New Zealand and the USA.

I hope you enjoy looking at the images on this site. There are many original paintings for sale as well as Greetings Cards & Limited Edition Prints of some of them. If you would like further information or would like to leave any comments please use the Contact Form at the foot of this page.
