About me

My work is inspired by the vastness of the Canadian landscapes where I grew up and the rugged beauty of the Cornish coastline where I live now. I create intricately detailed landscapes that explore themes of home, solitude, and our intrinsic connection to the natural world and each other.

I aim to convey not only the physical attributes but also the emotional resonance of the landscapes. My prints serve as windows into contemplative scenes, the intricate details holding the viewer’s attention and fostering a sense of introspection and reflection.

Most days I work from my studio at Krowji, Redruth, but when I’m not working you can find me exploring the beaches in Cornwall, surfing, listening to podcasts, and hanging out with my cat Olive.
