This new collection of paintings focuses on coastal skies and the colours of early mornings, dusk and the silver light of a winter’s day. My studio is perched on a hill overlooking Falmouth harbour – it’s exposed to all the elements that the ever changing Cornish weather brings. At times it’s very atmospheric, seeing dramatic storms rolling in over the bay, and being surrounded by all this has had a significant influence on my recent work.

After years of living abroad, I now live in Cornwall. I was born in Hong Kong and spent my childhood in the Far East living by the sea which has had a huge influence in my life and work. I moved to Paris in 1990 where I studied at Parsons School of Design. In 1997, I moved to Houston, Texas and studied Fine Art at The Glassell School of Arts, the teaching wing of The Museum of Fine Arts Houston and exhibited extensively in solo and selected group shows.

I moved to Cornwall in 2014 and studied at Falmouth Art school’s Intensives and at The Newlyn School of Art.
