I am a plein-air painter based in Bristol, UK. My paintings are souvenirs of place and time. I like to capture what I see in paint so that moment can be enjoyed forever. All my work is done on location directly from nature. See more landscapes and cityscapes in the gallery and most recent work to 2022 in the blog.
