Like many people, I've always been drawn to the sea.
I can't imagine a life inland....to me summer means the beach, with hot sand and cool turquoise water... and winter means grey skies and choppy grey seas, with whitecaps disappearing to the horizon.
....the heady scent of salt water and seaweed is my favourite perfume, the feel of wet sand between my toes my favourite massage.
so I don't think it was surprizing that in 2006, my first sea -village painting appeared, quickly followed by others.

some of my happiest memories involve the beach, boats, fishing and saltwater..... both here in Australia and in many parts of the world.

I've always wanted to make that seachange....so I guess it's only natural that if I couldn't have the real thing, I would paint it.
