  Artist Statement

  My work would - I think - be classified as impressionist, spontaneous, not fussy but honest. Watercolour is my medium of choice because it suits my personality best and I love it. Subject-wise I prefer anything that relates to en plein air which allows me to get outside or paint from the comfort of the studio, particularly maritime.
