I'm inspired by colours, shadows, the mood of the skies and waves, and by vast scenes that remind us how tiny we humans are compared to the natural world. I’m fascinated by places where nature and man-made structures meet - sea defences, outfalls, piers and seaside resorts. I'm also inspired by the stories you tell me, about your family holidays here going back generations, and your early memories of your favourite places. I also love to capture in my work a sense of time gone by. A time when the pace of life was slower, and families spent time together enjoying simple pleasures, like walks on the beach.   

I love to paint all the wonderful places along the Lincolnshire coast, from Gibraltar Point to Cleethorpes, via Skegness, Ingoldmells, Chapel St Leonards and Chapel Point, Anderby Creek, Sandilands, Sutton on Sea, and Mablethorpe.
