Coast, creativity & cwtches …

My paintings describe skies stretching over coastal headlands with the reflections in sea & wet sand – inspired by walking the beaches & paths in Pembrokeshire.

Bold, expressive, full of movement, shape and texture. I have a passion for rich colour and use this to express the joy of living on the coast.
