Strandline, a painting created from the Humberston Fitties beach, full of the energy of an incoming tide. All of my paintings are created in watercolour and ink in a sketchbook, in which I paint, draw and write every day. My style is really informed by my years of being a calligrapher. I’m really inspired by Grimsby and Cleethorpes, and wider Lincolnshire. These high-quality prints are available in 3 sizes – small (A5 21x15cm), medium (A4 21x30cm) and large (A3 30x42cm).
