About the artist

My art is inspired by my local lido. I am a keen all-year-round swimmer but it is the effects of sunlight refracted through water in a outdoor pool that this is my true subject. Shadows in the pool contrasted with the bright pattern of the light express for me that fragile line between joy and despair. Swimming figures can often seem vulnerable and alone but also free and floating in space. But it is the light which gives them emotional resonance. This is why I paint.

I also celebrate the unique space which is Brockwell Lido, a wonderful and beloved art-deco treasure in South London, built in 1937 and saved by a dedicated few in the 1980s - for the whole community to still enjoy. A very special place.
