I often feel the need to counteract my circumstances with my artwork.
Whether it be my early days living in Manchester, where I created energetic and colourful paintings in reaction to the dreary concrete rain-soaked streets.
Or more recently, feeling the need to humanise and place limitations on my artwork as a reaction to the rise of limitless "inhumane" AI art.

So to bring some light and levity to these dark cold days of winter I'm releasing my new print Sǽcir, inspired by long warm summer walks along the shimmering coastal waters of the UK.
Sǽcir (pronounced sea-sir) is an old Anglo-Saxon word meaning the ebbing of the sea.

I've always been fascinated by what the ocean waves gather along the shore line. The ever-changing swell of shining pebbles and sunbleached driftwood across rippled sands.
Sǽcir is a reflection of this collection of natural forms, a space where numerous elemental objects converge.

The pathways that meander along the coast of Cornwall in the South-East of England, through hidden coves and undulating cliff tops, are some of my favourite places to walk in the UK.
Sǽcir is a homage to that landscape. The dance of plant life in the sea breeze. The co-mingling of water, rock, flora, fauna and light.

Sǽcir is available in 4 sizes to accommodate your desired budget and wall space.
The A1 and A2 sizes come with a border (see below) and are all hand signed, numbered and embossed with my own unique artist emblem.
Each print size is a limited edition of 10 only.

The largest print size (100cm x 140cm) is hand signed & numbered on the reverse, and comes with a special deckled edge to give the print a more tactile quality.
This size is specifically created for float mounting in a frame, allowing the Sǽcir composition to speak fully for itself, not unlike one of my original paintings.

Each Sǽcir print comes expertly wrapped and packed in strong thick walled postal tubes.
