'Plein air' painting has been at the heart of my practice for many years. There’s something uniquely compelling about standing in the landscape, painting directly from observation, and responding to the world exactly as it unfolds in front of you. This new collection brings together a series of acrylic works on both canvas and board, each created outdoors and shaped by the immediacy of the moment.

I keep many sketchbooks on the go and contribute to them regularly.

This plein air art was made with the storm clouds gathering, I sat huddled up in my parka on the rocky shore at Priests Cove.
