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 rowing - 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 camararderie, the celebrating and commiserating, the caring for each other - the feeling of belonging to an amazing coastal community.
