Studio View Blog: Latest Artworks, News and Inspiration.

This Blog ‘Studio View’ is a regular update of my new work, upcoming exhibitions, some work in progress images and photographs of what inspires me to paint.

My work is all about the ever changing light in the landscape.

Each painting that I sell I will be donating 10% to the Alzheimer’s charity in loving memory of my Mum.
