The Inca Trail

Based on a photograph captured during a memorable visit to Peru in 2005, The Inca Trail brings a personal journey to life through fluid watercolour. The painting captures the dramatic grandeur and quiet mystery of the Andes, tracing the ancient path as it winds through mountain peaks and atmospheric mist. We walked in the dark to reach the Sungate at Dawn with Machu Pichu below us. Such a special place, or were we just exhausted? Interpreting the original photo into soft washes and rich earth tones, the piece evokes the awe-inspiring scale and timeless spirit of this iconic landscape.

Survival

Survival is a powerful abstract watercolour that channels the raw, quiet resilience of nature. Evoking the moody atmosphere of a remote lake or marshland, the piece blends deep, earth-toned washes with subtle glints of light reflecting off still water. Rather than painting a specific place, the work captures the endurance of wild landscapes—where land and water meet, adapt, and quietly thrive amidst the elements.

Mountain Lake

An abstract study in cool tones and fluid textures, Mountain Lake evokes the quiet majesty of a high-altitude wilderness. Soft watercolour washes blend seamlessly to suggest still waters and towering peaks, with mist-filled valleys creating a calm, meditative atmosphere.

Olives and Poppies

Olives and Poppies Crete

A vivid watercolour capturing a picturesque Cretan hillside in spring, Olives and Poppies contrasts bright crimson wildflowers with the soft, silvery green of olive groves.
Delicate washes and fluid strokes evoke the warm breeze and scent of herbs from this gentle stroll near Koutouloufari – probably on our way to eat fab Greek food again!
