Combing my love of travel with adventure, I'm captivated by wide open spaces, dramatic coastlines and everchanging skies. My paintings are composed from a  photographic library, a fusion of elements translated onto canvas, creating atmosphere and drama.

My paintings are an emotional response to what I see, encouraging the viewer to find something different each time they look
