About

a calm sea looking out from Felixstowe beach in Suffolk

Like many people brought up in the midlands, I have always been drawn to the sea.

The colours and textures of the coast have inspired my creative work for many years.

In 2020 I was lucky enough to move to Suffolk and start my painting practice.

I am a member of Colchester Art Society and exhibit regularly with them.
