sea-inspired art and craft

self portrait collage on canvas about Probably best known for my large contemporary canvases of the Solent Forts (which I am a little obsessed with) and for incorporating the written word in my work, often using a scratchy vintage dip pen to write directly on top of a painting. Living on Bembridge Harbour on the Isle of Wight, my work is inevitably sea-themed, and now that I have a bigger studio space (on board our new houseboat) mostly on a large scale, although I do still while away the odd hour at my beach hut studio working on smaller craft items.   about      gallery     dates    contact     other       home
