Studio 3, ArtSpace Portsmouth, 27 Brougham Road, Southsea PO5 4PA
ARTISTS STATEMENT / MISSION
My paintings explore the atmosphere and emotional presence of coastal and maritime landscapes. I am interested in the shifting qualities of water, weather, light, and movement — the elements that give a place its character and sense of life. My work seeks to capture not only the visible scene, but also the quieter feeling of being within it.
Rooted in a long-standing connection to the coast, my practice reflects both observation and memory. I am drawn to the tension between structure and fluidity, stillness and motion, and the way changing conditions can transform a familiar view. Through oil and watercolour, I aim to create work that is spacious, reflective, and contemporary in feeling.
EXCLUSIVE FINE ART is always available direct from my studio.
COMMISSIONS : I am always happy to discuss commissions, large or small – bespoke fine art / illustration.

MATERIALS : I work with the very best light fast pigments and materials to ensure the high quality outcomes. For example, when working in oils, I often use fine Belgium linen, exhibition quality stretchers and professional quality paints etc.
TIMESCALE : I endeavour to produce work within your timeframe but due to ongoing commissions I may not be able to start immediately. Some commissions might take a day to create, others might involve a lot of initial research and the work could take several months or more to complete. I can give you a better understanding of prices once we have clarified your specific requirements..
WHO : I work with members of the public, international collectors, galleries, organisations and businesses.
FRAMING : prices do not include framing. I prefer not to frame work that has to be shipped as it requires a crate to ensure it arrives un-damaged. (This adds to the costs). I recommend that you buy the work from me unframed (unless it’s a local delivery) and then get your own framer to do the work. I can advise and suggest suitable framing. I use a variety of professional framers.
PACKING : I pack artwork so that it can withstand the roughest of treatment. (In a former life I used to work for a mail order company), shipping globally. I prefer to roll drawings and prints and ship them in cardboard tubes. Larger paintings are always packed in plywood crates. Where possible I like to use small independent couriers who deliver work by hand.
International freight can be arranged via my tried and tested agent (not yours).
COPYRIGHT
It’s standard practice for copyright to remain the property of the artist, although with commercial illustration copyright is often transferred to the publisher for an extra fee.
SHIPPING/POSTAGE&PACKING
I can give an estimate once I know your specific requirements. NB : to mitigate scams, I only use my shippers, (not yours).
Free : I am happy to deliver work in person within a ten – 20 mile radius of Portsmouth UK. This free delivery service extends to Suffolk too
PAYMENT : commissions : 50% of agreed price before I start work and 50% upon completion/delivery.
DISPLAYS : NEVER display watercolours (or photographs) in direct sunlight.
SATISFACTION : I email digital images of “works in progress” and strive to give customers an outcome that they will be proud to own.
FEEDBACK : I ask for, and value, feedback from my customers throughout the process. Please feel free to comment.
