When I am painting I feel like there is nothing else, I find myself fully absorbed and it "washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life".  It transports me to a meditative place.  I relive sailing or staring at the sea, feeling the weather and seasons, creating and capturing a moment in time as I have seen and felt.   Sometimes nature seems so incredibly beautiful I am over whelmed and it feels like all life is there, intensified in that very moment.  Ever since moving to Cornwall in 2011, I have been drawn to the Helford River and the Lizard Peninsula with all its magic; the coastline, ancient stones, churches and houses.  

 

 Since a girl I have always loved painting and drawing, looking at art, nature and the countryside.   My interest in fine art lead me to gaining a Master of Arts from Edinburgh University.  With a family history of sailing, building and living aboard traditional wooden boats I enjoy painting and photographing them too.
