Capturing the colours of a life in France, one magical brush stroke at a time
Bonjour - and thank you for visiting my website!
I am a British artist living in the Languedoc area of the south of France. From the narrow streets of local villages to the vast panoramas of vineyards, mountains & coastline, this area is an endless source of inspiration for me. I have a passion for light and for colour, and I use the wonderful properties of watercolour to create artwork with a unique energy and sense of place.
In addition to developing my own art, I also love teaching, helping and inspiring people to live more creative lives. Do check out my Workshops page for details of upcoming events, holidays and reviews. As a passionate sketcher and the founder of Urban Sketchers Languedoc, my website also includes details of the regular meetings taking place in the 'real' south of France.
