"Creating an oil painting transports me to a joyful place. Throughout my life, I’ve embarked on many adventures, most of which have involved the oceans and coastlines. As a sailor, I’m drawn to the connection with nature and the exhilarating freedom of being on the water. As an artist, I find inspiration in the visual interplay and emotions of the water and those who experience it.
My work as an oil painter explores colours and textures that convey the emotions and feelings experienced on the water. I incorporate weather references and sea charts to depict the exhilarating blend of seamanship and the ocean environment."
