‘Charting the Unseen’ is inspired by a sea crossing from Greenland to Newfoundland and is part of a set of four paintings.
It is 12” x 12” (30cm x 30cm) and is an acrylic painting on wood panel mounted in a hand crafted, grey inset frame.
My inspiration for all four paintings came from sketches I made during twilight and early morning, using charcoal and oil pastels. Also, from the dozens of photographs I took and later cropped. One of the things I began to explore here was deconstructing what I saw, choosing the shapes and textures and colours which moved me. I’m really happy with all four paintings and that’s a lot to do with how they take me back not only to the physical place but the emotions I was feeling and that’s a real mood lifter!

Salt Light captures the fleeting shimmer where ocean mist meets morning sun. Inspired by a cruise around Newfoundland, this abstract composition layers teal, turquoise, and rust in a dance of elemental contrasts — water and stone, clarity and haze. Geometric fragments drift through textured brushwork, suggesting maps, sails, or ice floes glimpsed from a ship’s deck. The central blue pulse anchors the piece like a deep current, while peach and white accents evoke warmth breaking through northern chill.
This work invites quiet contemplation — a memory of motion, light, and salt carried home.

‘Sunset Fjord’ captures the fleeting brilliance of dawn as it dances across icy waters. A diagonal cascade of crimson, ochre, and white slices through the canvase like sunlight refraceted on a glacial tide, evoking both motion and stillness.
Surrounding hues of teal, violet and deep marine suggest the cold serenity of Arctic depths, while textured layers hint at geological memory - rock, ice and sky in quiet dialogue.
The composition balances bold gesture with atmospheric subtlety, inviting the viewer into a moment of elemental awakening, where warmth meets frost and light begins its daily ascent.
‘Sunset Fjord’ is a 16” x 16” (40cm x 40cm approx) acrylic painting on canvas, mounted in a handcrafted white inset frame.

A little bit more detail of ‘Sunset Fjord’
Bold, layered, and evocative, ‘Autumn Seeds’ captures the sensory richness of South Derbyshire’s countryside in the turning season. Inspired by walks through hedgerows and fading fields, the painting pulses with earthy ochres, deep teals, and crisp whites—each brushstroke a memory of seed pods split open, tangled brambles, and the low golden light of October. Organic shapes nestle among geometric fragments, suggesting both the wild scatter of nature and the quiet rhythm of cultivated land. The composition is dynamic yet grounded, echoing the tension between decay and renewal that defines autumn’s edge.
This is a 16” x 16” (41cm x 41cm) acrylic painting on canvas, mounting in a white floating frame 1.5” (4cm) deep.
Introducing ‘Magenta Passage’, an acrylic painting on canvas, 20” x 20” (51cm x 51cm) and mounted in a hand crafted floating frame (1.5”/4cm deep).
This piece was inspired by a journey through the Gulf of St Lawrence into Quebec, capturing impressions of shifting coastlines, port towns, and the rhythm of travel. Strong vertical and diagonal forms suggest movement and direction, while circular shapes hint at waypoints or moments of pause. The palette blends rich reds, blues and soft neutrals, with layered textures and fine lines adding depth and energy.
‘Magenta Passage’ reflects the experience of transition - between places, moods, and light - offering a visual record of a coastal route seen through an abstract lens.

‘Postcards from the Arctic Edge’
Three square windows into a journey north. We arrived in silence - teal skies stretched above icefields, the hush of the ancient snow.
But warmth lingered; in the orange glow of a midnight sun, in the rusted edge of a fishing boat, in the kindness of strangers wrapped in pelts.
Each panel holds a moment - painted not just from sight but from feeling.
This is the Arctic as remembered; cold and bright, quiet and bold, a place where colour remains long after we leave.

Like shards of memory caught in a gust, Fragments in Motion dances stillness and momentum. This abstract composition invites the viewer into a moment of quiet upheaval - where colour fractures, soft edges blur, and movement becomes emotion. Inspired by the fleeting beauty of change, it captures tension between holding on and letting go. A piece for those drawn to the poetry of transition, and the grace of impermanence.
