Background
Having spent a lifetime working in IT / Computing both in industry and academia as a developer, consultant and as a trainer/ lecturer; during lockdown I picked up a hobby again from my teens and 20's.
This hobby was painting in acrylics. I tried to use the paints, brushes and easel I had owned for more than 30 years, but soon bought new paints, brushes and a stronger and steadier easel and have not looked back since.
I have now left my former profession and focus purely on my art work. I have exhibited in local art galleries and at numerous art fairs.
My painting of the 'Pierhead Building' in Cardiff Bay was featured in the Norwegian Church Arts Centre, as part of the 'People's Story of Cardiff Bay' exhibition in March 2025. Due to popular demand, this was again featured in another exhibition(May to June 2025) in the Norwegian Church, this time the exhibition was based on the industrial heritage of Cardiff Bay (and wider Wales).
I have also exhibited in several other galleries across South Wales such as the Turner Gallery in Penarth and am hoping to feature in more exhibitions in 2026 onwards. Recently I have had paintings exhibited in Penarth Pier and Sids on Penarth sea front. I also have art work available in the Penarth Art ands Craft Hub and the Cowbridge Art Hub. For 2027 I will have an exhibition in Waterloos in Penarth in June/july.
I specialise in both Contemporary Landscape paintings and Ink and Watercolour Landscape paintings. A new departure for me is the creation of digital art using a tablet - watch this space to see the results!
I paint the landscape, the sunsets and the colours of where I live and where I love to be. I particularly enjoy expressing the joy of the images I paint in bright and often vivid colours. Being born and brought up in Cardiff and South Wales these are the areas I am naturally drawn to.
If you would like a particular scene painted, get in touch and I will work with you to create your ideal, unique, work of art! Just see my Commissions Page for further details.
