I was born in 1970 in Chicago, USA and immigrated to the UK in my early 20s. Originally I moved to Scotland but after three years moved down to London. There I studied oil painting and printmaking privately with artist Annette Johnson in Greenwich, London. My work originally revolved around the dark murky waters of the Thames River and the piers, bridges and industrial buidings along it.
My work has been described as colourist, colour field, and tonalist. I just describe them as seascapes or landscapes, simplified and soft. To be there are very specific places and times, representational. They are about the simplicity of the horizon and the interaction of horizontals between shore, horizon and the edges of the canvas. They exist to capture moments, impressions, a more real experienced memory than the detailed one we might create in our minds.
All my recent paintings are part of my ongoing "English Coast" project - I am cycling the coast in stages, doing sketches and studies on site and then going back to teh studio to produce larger-scale paintings of specific places along the journey. So far I have cycled and painted the Thames estuary, Isle of Sheppey, Kent, Sussex, Isle of Wight, and parts of the Yorkshire, Dorset and Essex coasts.
My work is in private collections in the US, UK, Ireland, Australia and Japan. Paintings have also been included in group exhibitions at the National Maritime Museum, Dulwich Picture Gallery and with the Pastel Society and Royal Society of Marine Artists at the Mall Galleries in London. Recently a painting was included (and sold) in a juried exhibition at The Gallery in Cork Street.
