Happy New Year and Free UK Delivery
Happy New Year everyone! I hope you are all well and had a lovely Christmas even though it might have been different from normal. We had a lovely Christmas at home and we saw the rest of our family virtually. Now the UK is back in lockdown and galleries are having to close their doors for now. If you are like me missing the ocean I would love to be able to offer free UK delivery so I can bring the sea to your home. The offer applies to all my original paintings, limited edition prints and art greetings cards. Please enter the code BRINGMETHESEA at checkout to bring the beach to your home. I am in the process of painting some new work, if you want to be the first to see it sign up to my newsletter!
Many thanks for your continued support.
Love and light

New Collection 'Sharing the Surf'
Welcome to my new collection ‘Sharing the Surf’. The new collection explores the positive and peaceful relationship we can have with marine life that inhabits the world’s oceans. There are seven new watercolour paintings in the series from different viewpoints. The marine life that I explore in each painting I have been lucky enough to see in the wild whether surfing or diving or from a boat. I explore how we can peacefully exist together and how we need to undo the damage we have done to their environment together.
I am donating 20% of all profit made on original paintings, prints and art greetings cards to Surfers Against Sewage who are a campaigning charity that inspires, unites and empowers communities to take action to protect oceans, beaches, waves and wildlife.

New Way of Looking
After a few experiments in my sketchbook I decided to focus on a mini series of aerial paintings focusing on a surfer’s journey to catching a wave. It is such a refreshing viewpoint to tackle and has challenged me by having to consider what a figure would look like from above, how the water would be moving and how the sunlight would cast shadows. I was unsure how watercolour would work in this way but I have been pleasantly surprised how well it does and it really does compliment the fluidity of the ocean seen from above. I am planning to do more on surfers focusing on manoeuvres and possibly turn my attention to bodyboarders as well.
