Competing in Landscape Artist of the Year 2026
My latest adventure taking part in Sky Arts Landscape Artist of the Year as a pod artist painting on location in Dover, United Kingdom.
The event was a truly amazing experience for me; to paint alongside my brilliant fellow artists from across the country; to meet with the renowned judges as they gave me valuable feedback; and to be filmed! The program was broadcast on national TV in January 2026!

A stroll at Hindhead Commons (Oil on canvas 18"x 14") was created at home after the stroll. I was especially moved by the radiant colors of the view. I hope the sunlit view in the distance can bring warmth and energy, as much as the shades can provide shelter, to those who walk and share the same path.
