Ian takes inspiration from his immediate environment often painting outdoors before developing larger or more abstracted works in the studio. Originally from rural Carmarthenshire, he primarily paints the Severn Estuary from his home in Portishead where he also organises and runs portrait and landscape courses..

 

Ian often paints in oils using a limited palette to capture the beauty within this often bleak estuarine landscape.

 

Complementary to this he enjoys the representational challenge of portraiture and has exhibited at the Holburne Portrait Prize in Bath.

 

Ian has recently been elected a member of Bath Society of Artists. He has shown landscapes and portraits in many galleries and venues in and around Bristol and Bath including the RWA Open Exhibition and the Bath Society of Artists, also at the Mall Galleries in London with multiple national Art Societies included the New English Art Club, Wales Contemporary Art Prize and Royal Institute of Oil Painters.
