Artist, kayaker and bird nerd. Partial to a Norfolk sky.
Antonus and The Snow Goose. Oil on canvas, 24cm x 30cm.
This is a still life but also a portrait of my mother through her personal possessions. It’s also a way for me to process the gradual loss of my mum through dementia.

St Peter and St Paul Church, Runham, Norfolk.
Oil on paper.
I disturbed a hare hidden in its form whilst walking to enjoy this view. I don’t know who was more surprised.

Bleak Lines.
Oil on board 8”x5”
The view from my bedroom window - a harsh November morning a couple of years ago. A fantastic hoar frost and a light dusting of snow revealed the contours and tracks on the field in an opalescent light.

I’m thrilled to have been asked to exhibit 5 paintings at The Gallery, Holt’s “One Earth” exhibition running until July 8. All works are landscapes local to me under threat from global warming. I’m in exceedingly good company so the exhibition is well
worth a visit.

Here’s a “tinker in progress” - I change the sky once a week. The place is the amazing salt marsh at Stiffkey looking towards the pines at Wells-Next-Sea, in autumn.

I’ll keep going until I’m satisfied. Today the sky is boiling.
Stiffkey Blues, oil on linen board.

Ranworth Mollis
Oil on linen, 40cm x 30cm

These wonderful fluffy seed heads of hemp-agrimony inspired me to paint another Ranworth scene, just down the road from me and a favourite place

Kings Fleet, Surlingham Broad.

One of those hidden beautiful places, only accessible by kayak or dinghy at high tide. A thin space, save for the distant background noises of water frolics and diesel trains. Oil on canvas, 40cm x 30cm.

The Pea Harvesters, Runham Swim.

If at first you don’t succeed, tinker with it some more! I change this painting every six months as I’m never happy with it, but I just maybe now. I’ll see how I feel in another six months!
