I paint places people love and collect the stories that live there.

Step into my world – see the world differently

New paintings, stories from places I love, and things I’ve noticed along the way.

Doing My Work of Joy

For years, I thought my paintings were about places. Then one day, while hanging an exhibition, I realised I wasn’t just looking at my artwork. I was looking at my life. The places I’d explored. The adventures I’d had. The moments I’d stopped to notice. And I remember thinking:

How wonderful it is to create a life worth painting.

Living a life worth painting

That idea sits at the heart of my work today. I explore. I notice. I paint. I share.

I seek out places of joy, capturing their colour and atmosphere, and collecting the stories that make them meaningful.  Because the moments worth painting are all around us.

We simply have to notice them.

Finding Places of Joy

From favourite local places to adventures further afield, every painting starts with somewhere that made me stop and look.

Latest Place of Joy – Stratford-upon-Avon

A place steeped in stories, Stratford-upon-Avon has long been somewhere people come to wander, explore and make memories.

For my latest painting, I’ve brought together some of the things that make Stratford feel like Stratford to me — the river, the theatre, the church, boats and paddlers, people out walking, and the big wheel turning above it all.

A colourful snapshot of a place with plenty of stories to tell.
