in the studio

My studio is tucked away in an old mews courtyard a short walk from the beach in Hove.  I tend to use oil paint on stretched canvas or linen as I enjoy the richness, texture and deep colour of oil especially when mixed with linseed or walnut oil.

The studio was once a workshop and when I moved in I found an original cobbled floor and lots of wooden shelves.  The space is now home to my art books, paints, brushes and lots of rotating plants and cuttings that I pick on my walks. 

I move imagery around the walls, pinning up plein air sketches, watercolours or photographs from my travels.  

The studio can be cold in winter, the  seagulls and pigeons  noisy and there is not much phone reception... but it's a wonderful space to expand my practice and get lost in the painting process.
