Resources for Fellow Artists
A few things I've put together, and a fewthings I turn to myself, in case they're useful on your own painting journey.
Over the years I've built up a small collection of guides and talks that have helped me, and I'm often asked to share them. So here they all are in one place. Dip in and take whatever's useful to you.
Cadgwith Abstract Crop Photography
A collection of abstract crop photographs I took while exploring Cadgwith, a small fishing cove on the Lizard Peninsula. Alongside the images I share a short introduction to how I use this kind of photography as part of my process, training your eye to find shapes, tones and compositions hiding in the ordinary. You don't need Cornwall for this one. Just curiosity and a phone.

Finding Your Creative Core
A guided exercise exploring three simple but genuinely worth sitting with questions about your painting practice. It looks at subject, connection and expression, and helps you notice what draws your eye again and again, so you can start working out what you're actually trying to say with your work.

An Exclusive Gallery Talk from Portals
A free 45 minute recorded talk, filmed live at the Vanner Gallery in Salisbury during my Portals exhibition. I talk honestly about my journey into painting, the influences that have shaped me, and what it really means to paint the landscape rather than simply paint what you see.
