I’m delighted to announce a new Cornish art gallery where you can now view my vibrant landscape oil paintings in the flesh.

Nestled in the picturesque Cornish coastal town of Porthleven overlooking the harbour, the Cornish Art > gallery are displaying my new and developing series of landscape oil paintings called ‘Windswept Love’.

I feel incredibly honoured to have been invited to exhibit my artwork alongside the talented artists Andrew Giddens, Richard K Blades, Theo Crutchley Mack, Sarah Wimperis and Paul Evans.

It's truly a full-circle moment for me, as I vividly remember studying Paul Evans' paintings during my school days. I still have one of his paintings on my inspiration wall … I loved his paint splash trees!

It's quite funny how life brings us back to where we started, and now I have the opportunity to showcase my paintings alongside his. I've always been captivated by his masterful use of colour and his paint splashing technique.
