Time and Tide is a series of paintings inspired by the coast, the sea, and the shifting edge between land and water. Rooted in (but not exclusively) East Coast of England and the Suffolk shoreline, the work explores weather, erosion, tide, light, and movement — the changing conditions that shape both landscape and memory.
I am especially interested in liminal spaces: those moments where a scene feels suspended between calm and force, observation and recollection. Ships, yachts, and maritime forms may appear as occasional motifs, but the series is primarily concerned with the wider atmosphere of sea, sky, and shoreline.
Working in oil and watercolour, I aim to create paintings that balance structure and spontaneity, offering a sense of place that is contemplative, contemporary, and quietly immersive.
