About the artist

I paint coastal life from inside it. As a coastal rower, I am drawn to the moments surrounding St Ayles Skiff racing - gathering at the shore, watching weather move across the water and the quiet return to harbour.

My work explores belonging to a place through shared experience rather than spectacle.

Collected by People Who Love the Coast

Collectors often choose a painting because it reflects somewhere meaningful to them - a harbour they know, a race remembered or simply the feeling of being near water.

Many begin with one piece and return as the story continues.

More than just rowing

It's about the camerarderie, the celebrating and commiserating, the caring for each other - the feeling of belonging to an amazing coastal community.
