Inspired by the beauty and atmosphere of Western Australia's coastline for more than 60 years.

For more than 60 years, I've been inspired by the landscapes and coastlines of Western Australia, painting the places that have shaped my life and created lasting memories for so many others.

I’ve always believed a painting should do more than capture a view. It should capture a feeling. The warmth of the sun on your shoulders, the movement of the water, the quiet moments spent with family and friends, and the memories that bring us back to a place time and time again.

Every original painting is created by hand using professional oil paints and built layer by layer over many weeks. I spend countless hours refining the light, colour and movement until the scene feels as though you could step straight into it.

Born in England in 1955 and raised in Western Australia from the age of eight, I have spent a lifetime exploring and painting this remarkable coastline. My years working as a deckhand in the Abrolhos Islands and travelling throughout Western Australia continue to influence every piece I create.

Today, my work can be found in private collections throughout Australia and overseas. With much of my time dedicated to commissioned paintings, original works are released only occasionally, while museum-quality canvas prints allow more people to enjoy these special places in their own homes.

Whether it’s an original painting, a limited edition print or a commissioned piece that tells your own story, I hope my artwork brings a little of Western Australia’s beauty into your home and allows you to relive the places that mean the most to you.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my gallery.

THE BATAVIA STORY

Inspired by one of Western Australia's most remarkable maritime histories.

The Batavia Aground trilogy explores the dramatic events surrounding the famous 1629 shipwreck at the Abrolhos Islands, a place that has fascinated me since my years working there as a deckhand.

Beginning with First Light, the series captures the moment the crew begins to realise the gravity of their situation, bringing together history, atmosphere and the extraordinary beauty of the Abrolhos Islands.

The original trilogy now resides in private collections, with Limited Edition canvas prints available for collectors who wish to own a piece of this remarkable Western Australian story.
