As a British artist living and working in Devon, I’ve always drawn deep inspiration from the beauty of the coast and countryside around me. The Relief Series is my latest body of work — a collection of limited edition wood relief artworks that blend natural motifs with a modern, sculptural edge. Each piece is created in my South Devon studio and reflects my ongoing fascination with structure and simplicity.

These works are completely unique — original, precision cut and painted wood reliefs that push beyond traditional wall art to become true statement pieces. They explore the balance between form and function, and are designed to sit proudly in modern interiors, galleries, and collector homes.

Art Inspired by Nature & the Sea

The collection includes a series of bold yet calming artworks inspired by native British wildlife and nautical elements. Each piece is crafted with meticulous precision — cut into layered forms, sprayed by hand, and framed with natural or self-coloured wood tray moulding that includes a subtle shadow gap to enhance dimensionality.

Among the limited editions are: Heron Seaform •  Shrimp Pink •  Lobster Blue & Pink •  Puffin Blue • Curlew Neon • Seal Blue • Fine Fish – available in Seafoam, Pink, Neon, White-on-White, and Black-on-White • Set Sail – a standout sailing-series featuring recessed wave lines (a modern take on nautical stripes) and intricately cut boats arranged in dynamic, layered compositions. Each work is signed and numbered on the reverse, ensuring authenticity and exclusivity for collectors.

Modern, Minimalist, and Distinctly Coastal

The Character Series is deeply rooted in a love for coastal life but executed with a distinctly minimalist aesthetic — drawing subtle influence from Scandinavian design principles. These three-dimensional wood reliefs are stripped back and modern, yet warm and tactile. They invite light and shadow to play across their surfaces, adding depth and a quiet dynamism to any space.

Whether you’re an art collector, gallery curator, interior designer, or simply a lover of contemporary art, this series offers something strikingly original. It’s honest, hand-crafted British art that celebrates simplicity and storytelling through shape, texture, and tone.
