I am a self taught painter and screen printer living in Cornwall, England. My art is influenced by experiences in surf travel and living by the extraordinary coastline of Perranporth, North Cornwall. Where a tranquil sunset will relax, and a brutal sea will astonish. I work primarily in oil paint, sometimes to find the brightest of colours in life, but at other times to express shapes in the gloom and the dark. I lived for many years by the Prado Gallery in Madrid, and loved Goya and Velazquez. But, stylistically, my alternative influence is Hockney.
