This is a vibrant painting full of energy and joie de vivre, inspired by the quote from Hamlet.

It is about having the courage to embrace colour again.

It is particularly popular with Jazz musicians!

This is such a great little painting.  It is about that amazing moment when a creative idea comes into being - the high point for any artist.

This work is going to bring such energetic joy to its new home.

The complementary colours positively dance and sing.

It would bring a great energy to any wall.

One of my most memorable experiences was scuba diving off St Lucia.  I felt incredibly honoured to be part of this different, swaying world full of fabulous colour.  This painting is a testament to that experience - my interpretation of how it felt to be one with the ocean.  And since it is mixed media, it has fronds ...

This large work is shells seen through water.  

It is textured just as shells become textured through time in the sea.

It would be a great addition a fish restaurant.

This triptych is a delicate, shimmering work inspired by how light refracts and dances though a chandelier.

The colours are soft blues and pinks with imitation silver leaf.

It is entrancing when the light shines on it.

Many people have a problem with Grey.  

They find it boring, sedate, depressing, 'colourless'.

But really Grey is a gorgeous colour.  

It is soft and supportive and strong.  

It can be a wonderful background to other colours or 

a calming colour to have on its own.

This is my celebration of Grey.

A sketch for a painting of the Canadian lakes.

A passionate take on the vitality of nature.

I find being in the sea to be an experience like no other.  The colours, the feel of the salt water and the waves, the honour of being in another universe and a guest of the creatures that life there.

This painting is my attempt at conveying the majesty of being in the sea and the softness of the water and the world it creates.
