I am a regular visitor to Staithes, having owned a cottage there for over 25 years. It is both the subject of and inspiration for many of my paintings, which I exhibit in the Staithes Gallery. When out in the village and surrounding coast, I breathe it in. To breathe in is to inspire. I take this energy back into my studio, where I draw on memories of the sensory experience to produce multilayered and highly textured paintings using oils and cold wax.
