Hello
I live on the island of Guernsey where I am constantly inspired by the ever changing landscape due to the weather and huge tides. No two days are ever the same. The big skies, the light on the sea, and reflections in the sand constantly have me reaching for my camera. My paintings are often a medley of several photographs to create the perfect composition.
I feel the need to create, it feeds my soul
I love the color blue. Blue to me means beauty, calm, adventure, nature. I think of oceans, lakes, the big sky, Caribbean vacations, gemstones—I could go on and on. However, I would say that being around the water all my life has probably had the biggest impact when it comes to color in my life. Summers by the lake and days by the ocean, I can’t help but to have blue on my mind. I am mesmerized by the way water churns and reflects sunlight. On a sunny day, a sandy lake/ocean floor gives rise to a beautiful turquoise color water. A clear blue sky paints the water with a cerulean blue, while a stormy, cloudy sky creates a steely-blue water.
