Paintings shaped by tide, weather and the shared experience of life by the sea

Original paintings available to buy online or collect from my Edinburgh studio.

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.

  • A daily reminder of movement and belonging


  • A painting that brings the calm of the shoreline indoors

  • For homes shaped by sea air and memory

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.
