I am an English artist who loves to paint, draw and sketch.  In recent years, the material for my painting has come from my travels and the powerful effect that these experiences have had on me at over time.  I try to capture something of the character, mood and atmosphere of my intended subject from these journeys.  Our journey is somewhat diverse as we live on a narrowboat called Hekla; our floating home and studio which opens as a gallery when it suits us.

‘I like to think I see things inside and outside of the box.  Contemporary art is art of today!‘
