Welcome to my online Gallery
I am a British artist living in Taos, New Mexico.
Southwest landscapes and travels with my vintage Airstream trailer. Portraits, commissions and Still Life.
sedona summer
20 x 20" oil on gallery wrap canvas in a black floater frame.
Sedona is a beautiful and magical place with it's stunning red rocks and vortices. Late afternoons and sunsets are gorgeous.
grand canyon shadows
30 x 30" oil on canvas in a black floater frame.
Truly a stunning place to visit!
taos truck
8 x 10" oil on canvas in a black wood frame with gold accents
So Taos. An abandoned rusting truck parked forever next to a teepee.
Whale Tail vintage at Vermillion cliffs
6 x 6" oil on canvas panel in a black wood frame with gold accents.
My dear friend and fellow painter, Spike Ress, owns this beautiful 1955 Airstream Overlander with the 'whale tail' panel shape above the back window. Very collectable and rare. He sent me this shot from the Vermillion Cliffs area in Utah because he knows my fondness for shiny trailers and red rocks.
Available from Taos Fall Arts Festival, opening September 9th.
waiting for gas
36 x 24" oil on gallery wrap canvas in a floater frame.
We came through this spot in Bluff, Utah and I stopped to take photo references but the light was flat and I wasn't inspired. Years later we came through here again and the light was perfect and I finally got the painting of this wonderful scene.
I love that the paintwork on the car is completely rusted, while the chrome is still perfectly shiny. Add in the red rocks behind and it's right up my street.
Hoodoos at Bisti Badlands
24 x 24" oil on canvas in a black floater frame.
These otherworldly rock formations made me feel like I was on another planet. Spooky and beautiful.
Balloon Glow at the Taos Balloon Fiesta.
20 x 20 oil on canvas in a black floater frame.
In the evenings, the pilots tether their balloons and light them up with bursts of flames. Spectacular!
Available from Taos Fall Arts Festival, opening September 9th.
Canyon de Chelly Sunset
36 x 60" oil on gallery wrap canvas.
I love the view from this overlook of Canyon de Chelly and sunset on a rainy day is the best!
I Love monument valley
20 x 60"oil on gallery wrap canvas in a black floater frame.
I really do. It was the first place I wanted to go once our Vintage trailer had it's mirror shine. I must have been there at least 5 times and I will go again. I love it.,
holy puddles
20 x 16" oil on gallery wrap canvas in a floater frame.
I do a daily walk around my neighborhood and get to see this gorgeous adobe church in all weathers and seasons.
Available from Taos Fall Arts Festival, opening September 9th.
Starlight and Firelight
16 x 12" oil on gallery wrap canvas in a floater frame.
I love the glow of the open door bouncing light into the campsite. Glamping at it's finest!
The road to Monument valley
24 x 24" oil on gallery wrap canvas in a black floater frame
Monument Valley is one of my favorite places to visit in an Airstream. There is something about the iconic skyline combined with the shiny vintage trailer that just goes together in my head. When you approach the monuments from the north, you see them like this in the distance and it seems to take forever to actually reach them. They just get bigger and bigger.
mesa sunset
30 x 30" oil on gallery wrap canvas in a black floater frame
Here in the High Desert of New Mexico, we have the most glorious sunsets.
When I started this painting, I wanted the experience of painting something uplifting and expansive and it was.
Tower Station, Route 66, Shamrock, Texas,
12 x 24" oil on canvas in a black wood frame with gold accents.
One of the most photographed gas stations on Route 66. The exterior is completely tiled. Iconic!
the tunnels of red canyon
12 x 12" oil on linen panel in a black wood frame with gold accents.
I had seen photos of these arches cut out of the rock in photos but was unclear as to where exactly they were. Ray and I were driving from Capitol Reef NP to Bryce NP in Utah and came upon them unexpectedly. I was so excited to just find them like that!
little trailer in a big landscape
24 x 24" oil on canvas in a black floater frame
Ray and I love finding beautiful, out of the way places to camp and Valley of the Gods, just north of Monument Valley is one of the very best places we have found. You can camp close to the monuments and the views are truly 360 degrees. Sunrises and sunsets are epic.
In this painting I wanted the trailer to seem dwarfed by the scenery, almost vulnerable.
This painting is currently hanging in the Harwood Museum of Art on Ledoux Street in Taos (until August 2nd.)
