I work in a variety of media – mostly watercolours and oils – and would describe myself as a tonal and figurative painter. Watercolour appeals to me because of its immediacy of use and the luminosity of its colours.

With oils I often paint en plein air, completing a work in one session or creating a piece which I then finish in the studio. I paint subjects in West Yorkshire and in other parts of the UK or abroad. I'm particularly interested in the effects of light in the landscape and carry a camera everywhere, using photography both as a means of recording and to experiment with composition.
