From childhood memories to artwork
I grew up on a farm in Newent, Gloucestershire. I remember being outdoors, building dens, wandering with the dogs and even watching fireworks over Gloucester. That sense of freedom and the quiet importance of everyday experiences still shapes the subjects I paint.
For someone in Gloucester looking for an artist, that connection is more meaningful than simply putting a town name into a heading. My paintings explore family, friendship, childhood and places in a soft, reflective way. Watercolours can make a memory feel light and fleeting; oils create a different kind of depth.
I am now based in the Cirencester area, but people across Gloucestershire are welcome to look through my work and discuss a painting. If you would like something made personally, tell me the story and I can say whether it is something I could take on.
Are you originally from Gloucestershire?
Yes. My story begins on a farm in Newent, with memories of the countryside and Gloucester that continue to inspire the paintings.
