‘Evocative big paintings exploring our deep rooted connection to Nature & how it influences our well-being’
ARTISTS STATEMENT
Being in Nature & painting its myriad of wonders is what keeps me well, both mentally & physically. My purpose is to share this joy & peace with you.
Imagine feeling a sense of peace & joy in your own home, every day. Moments of wonder, translated into the big evocative canvases I paint, which celebrate the beauty of the natural world around us, infuse your space with that well-being.
Each painting carries it's own story, an opportunity to rest the mind & feel uplifted. The practice of mindfulness in Nature is deeply healing & my paintings bring with them the experience of being immersed in the natural world & finding that solace.
The effect, for me, is so powerful that I literally get ill if I don't paint for any prolonged period of time. My art practice has seen me through a serious health condition & relieves pain. I find it incredible when others say they also feel that way when seeing my work. For me, the painting process is my passion & I feel that my purpose in life is to share it.
A few years ago I discovered that there is now scientific evidence that images of the natural world do produce endorphins, serotonin & make you feel good. The term for this effect being called 'Biophylia'.

From me, to you... to those in need... to Nature
You buy one- I donate one
The power of giving: I Iive my life based on a set of core values which make me feel that I am being my best self & in some way making a small difference to others.
One of these values revolves around kindness & bringing some sense of comfort & joy to those who most need it.
In the Summer of 2025 I created my biggest donation project to date.
I sent 59 of my paintings, worth a total of £84000 to St. Peters Hospice in Bristol. It felt like the right thing to do in what has been a very very difficult year.
My hope that the paintings may bring a moment of comfort, a little peace to the patients, families & staff at the most challenging time is something I really felt the need to do.
My commitment going forward is that for every painting I sell, I also donate one freely to a hospice, children’s ward, residential old age home or a charity. in other words:
Make a difference to others:
Let's make the world a better place, one painting at a time
This new project, going forward is something which means a great deal to me. I know that as an individual, I can’t change the world, I can’t stop a war or feed the hungry. But my belief is that if each and every one of us did a few kind things daily, we may send out enough positive energy into the world, that we can counter the negative & scary things going on out there.
Make a difference to the planet:
Another deep motivation around my work is bring attention to the little, simple beauties of Nature. By blowing them up into large scale I want you to look at the world around you in a new way.
Noticing, Caring, nurturing & hopefully helping our wild world in it's struggles. Whether it be planting a tree, a small patch of meadow flowers or simply not to pull out that brave dandelion which has survived against the odds between the paving stones.
