Cornwall Artist Painting The Illusional Beauty Of Reflections
SCARLET HOTEL
I was delighted to be asked to hang a collection of my light patches, along with some bespoke scarlet reflection paintings in the beautiful scarlet hotel.
The Scarlet is an eco sanctuary spa hotel set on the cliffs at Mawgan porth so I had great fun painting from their stunning beach reflections. The natural outdoor spa pools sent light bouncing everywhere. I created a calm, glowing collection on natural linen to eco the hotel's ethos.
CAMBRIDGE SUMMER EXHIBITION NOW OPEN!
You can now see my work at Cambridge Contemporary Art
I have created a special collection "Cambridge through the trees" looking at the window reflections through some of Cambridge's beautiful big trees, from the huge beech tree next to kings college to the mill pond weeping willows. I love the contrast of the organic tree shapes bringing their wild magic onto the interiors they are reflected in. This show will run through July and August. www.cambridgegallery.co.uk @cca_gallery
RESTAURANT COMMISSION
I have just completed two new paintings for Elements restaurant at the Beach at Bude! I'm so proud to have my work up in such an amazing place. I based them on the beautiful reflections in the Beach at Bude's huge windows, capturing Summerleaze beach reflected onto the restaurant interior.
