With this series of oil paintings I have attempted to give the audience the sensation of freedom and escapism. I strive to portray the eternal depth and mystery of the horizon and the feelings that come with that depth (Crimson Horizon, Flux, Day at the Beach). I personally find something very reassuring about the ocean, whether it is energetic or serene (Sunrise III, Reach, Roseus Main).

I like to capture movement and take aspects of the environment: colour, atmosphere and mood, and transfer those qualities into a visual form. I incorporate the movement of the water and the sky because both display ever-changing light and colours (The Roar of the Ocean, Late November, Afternoon Spray). I find this both beautiful and extremely relaxing.

The inspiration for my work encompasses the physical and non-physical. I especially enjoy painting scenes in half light (The Pass, Late November, Movements of the Ocean, Serenity) because the ocean tends to lend itself to abstraction with the atmospheric playing of light upon the surface of the sea.

I really try to breathe life into my work in order to give that overpowering sensation of freedom and beauty, which is so commonplace in the vast open skies of the Pembrokeshire countryside.

I hope you enjoy viewing my work as much as I have creating it.
