Biography
I am a British artist living and working in Portugal for over 20 years. After my Art Foundation at Kingston Polytechnic, London, I moved to the Algarve taking advantage of the wonderful Southern light. My work has evolved from the figurative – painting in oils, observational scenes of figures against a sun-drenched backdrop of seaside life – to a more abstract and textural impression in acrylics - of land, sea and sky, influenced by the elements, intense sunlight and the rugged beauty of my surroundings. The landscape is constantly shifting and changing. In my paintings I try to capture an impression of its transient nature. i am sometimes drawn back to the figurative. Whatever the subject, I aim to draw the viewer into a world of light, reflection and timelessness ...lifting the spirits.

Article
I am a British painter who has lived in Portugal since 1986.
Continually inspired by the Southern Portuguese light, I choose to paint life: People at work and at play, my children, families at the beach, dancers, musicians, fishermen sorting their nets...
I try to attain a feeling of spontaneity in my work, capturing fleeting moments, applying rapid brushstrokes freely, to create an impression of movement.
Whether painting life or still-life my aim is to capture the uniqueness and freshness of a moment.
