I’m so pleased to announce that my latest series of Underwater Worlds is now available.

In this collection, I have been using some different mediums on linen, along with watercolour, pastel and gouache on rag paper.

My personal favourite is “Shimmering Seas”.

In this piece I spent time carefully planning the compositions and hiding wonderful creatures to find in the detail and shoals of fish. I also used Swarovski crystals (carefully sewn into the painting), which catch the light, subtly yet beautifully as you move around the painting.

Painting all the works in this series was a real joy.

Please get in touch if you would like to know more about any of the paintings in this collection.

I have always had a love of detail and I have always liked hiding details for the viewer to find. I take great delight in the idea of someone living with their painting and finding something new in it each time they look at it.

In some of my new pieces, you will discover that I have ‘zoomed out’ in my compositions. Details are slightly smaller and there are more animals, birds and insects to find. I have been fascinated to capture leaves, trees, and foliage in a different way too by painting them from a distance rather than close-up.

I hope these new works transport you to little slices of paradise, filled with life, beauty and adventure. I want this new collection of work to create a world where reality merges with dreams and it’s unclear which one you are in. That is where I like to go when I paint and in these paintings I hope I am able to take you with me.
