"Sometimes a painting reminds us of where we've been happy. Sometimes it is a glimpse of our dreams; of where we yearn to be."

I've just set up a new exhibition of "West Coast" paintings at Roffey Park, Horsham, based on my recent travels in the UK. It includes inspiration from perfect places, uplifting experiences and awesome artists in Scotland, Wales and England.

Many of the paintings are based on a journey to Skye that John and I took in October. Both my parents were Scottish, and I had wanted to go here for a long, long time. We were blessed with fantastic weather, and it felt like home.

Have a look at the paintings in my new online gallery if you can't get to Roffey Park.
