Surround yourself with things that make you smile!

From Life, Memory and Imagination... self-taught and hailing from the Midlands, after over a decade working in London I moved to Newquay in 2017. When I paint nothing is completely observed and nothing is completely imagined; between the two I aim to get the sense and the detail. I look to introduce art into everyday lives by creating a story out of a moment. I want people to surround themselves with things that make them smile!

"The Spirit of Cornwall" Royal Cornwall Open Exhibition
