OCEANVIEW

I am currently working on a new project titled OceanView. These works are inspired by my sketches and a long-standing fascination with a group of rocks in Mounts Bay, Cornwall, known as The Greeb.

PREY

A series of striking photorealistic paintings that examine the intimate majesty and primal focus of birds of prey. Through meticulous brushwork and a haunting attention to detail, the collection invites viewers into the sharp-eyed world of hawks, falcons and owls — creatures that live at the raw edge of vision and instinct
