I am a practising artist working in oils, watercolour and ink. My work explores the marine environment — the sea, its surface, and the life within it. I am particularly drawn to the freedom of the sea and its fish, and I try to convey something of their movement and quiet resilience.

Through field sketches, photography and watercolours made in wild coastal locations, I attempt to capture both the physical presence of a place and the emotions it evokes. Back in my studio in Dunoon, Argyll, I use oil paint to translate these sea-filled impressions.
