Art rooted in light, nature & place

  • (versión en español abajo) There is something that happens when a digital image becomes a physical object. The screen version is familiar, but printed, held in the hand, is something else. I recently ordered 25 postcards through MOO, mostly recent work from the Coast of Light collection. No particular plan, just felt it was time…

  • (versión en español abajo) Bold, warm, and quietly defiant. This piece, originally created during The Advent Challenge ’25 started, as many do, with a photograph: a wall, the kind you find here in southern Spain, marked by sun and time. Layered with palm silhouettes and the words CLAIM NOTHING fragmenting across the upper left, it…

  • (versión en español abajo) A few weeks ago I posted about spending a Sunday afternoon under the great ficus tree near La Caleta beach in Cádiz, watching Anna do bark rubbings on its trunk. You can read that post here. Since then the image has continued to develop. The structure was already there: the sprawling…

  • (Versión en español abajo) As the heat builds and summer arrives, it felt like the right moment to re-share two older pieces from the COAST of LIGHT collection, Zahara de los Atunes, down the coast from Cádiz. Zahara is a small fishing village known for its long, wild beach and its history of tuna fishing…

  • (Versión en español abajo) As the temperature rises, some recent photographs have found their way into this new piece, a first swim at the beach, and a dried flower I passed on the way there. Layered together onto a Jasmine White background, the result feels very much like the area right now, especially in the…

  • (Versión en español abajo) Last Sunday I spent some time under the great ficus tree near La Caleta beach in Cádiz, watching Anna (@absowm_art) do bark rubbings on its trunk. There’s something lovely about stopping, and just observing. I was taking various pictures, and back home I layered them into this finished piece, the tree’s…

  • (versión en español abajo) This artwork, like my others, is built from photographs simply layered into one another. The original tree can be found on my walk to work, part of a belt of green and pine trees, halfway along, where you notice a shift in the world. To walk through its shadow is to…

  • Moonlight

    Artwork Highlight: Moonlight is one of my more recent compositions: bold, layered brushstrokes and a glowing full moon over a lone tree in Los Toruños Natural Park. Available as an art print in my shop https://www.etsy.com/listing/4330160604/moonlight-print-dreamy-night-sky-blue ——— “Moonlight” es una de mis composiciones más recientes, pinceladas audaces y en capas con una luna llena luminosa…

  • The Cherry Tree

    Version en español abajo Another burst of colour is added to the COAST of LIGHT collection with The Cherry Tree, inspired by a recent trip to Cabañas entre Castaños near Jubrique in Malaga province. This piece captures the fleeting beauty of blossom in full bloom, something we were lucky enough to experience during our stay.…

  • Versión en español abajo Sunshine Yellow, created during last years BIG ADVENT ART CHALLENGE, captures a quiet coastal moment where warm light, soft sand, and still water meet. Guided by a simple path to the sea, the digital composition brings a sense of calm and clarity to brighten your day and your space. The artwork…
