    I'm delighted to announce that my debut novel ABSENT LIVES was published in April 2026! Inspired by real people and events it follows the story of young parents Anita and Elmore who were aboard the LUSITANIA with their ten-week-old son, John, when it was sunk by a torpedo fired from a German u-boat in 1915. They survived, but in the mayhem John went missing. The event is widely believed to be the catalyst that brought the US into the First World War, because so many passengers were American citizens. But for those on board that day, the consequences were far more personal. ABSENT LIVES is available in bookshops within the UK, and online worldwide through AMAZON.

    French Influence!

    French Influence!

    I'm very lucky to spend some of my time in rural France, where I have time and space to paint, surrounded by the evocative aesthetics which so inspire my work. The centre piece of my little French studio is a beautiful early 1900's ladies easel from Dupré & Cei, Paris. Photo credit: John Heseltine

    NEW STUDIO!

    NEW STUDIO!

    A recent house move has enabled me to have a wonderful, large studio and storage space. It's been so exciting to get this set up and start work here. Just need to paint over the wallpaper - I don't dislike it but it's a little distracting and photobombs every picture I take 😆
