Hello and welcome!
I am an oil painter specialising in seascapes and landscapes. Each piece is created over many hours, building depth and atmosphere through delicate, layered glazing techniques on deep-edge canvas. I paint the sides of my canvases so the composition wraps fully around, creating a seamless, gallery-ready finish.
My original works are available for purchase, and I also offer commissions based on your favourite coastal, sea and landscape photographs. I love collaborating with clients to transform meaningful memories—often from cherished photographs—into artwork that will last a lifetime. If you're interested in a custom piece, simply email me with your idea and the size you have in mind, and I'll be happy to provide a quote.
Much of my inspiration comes from the changing moods of the coast and countryside. Whether it is sunlight dancing across the sea, dramatic skies over rolling waves, or the peaceful beauty of a rural landscape, I aim to capture the atmosphere and emotion of each scene. My seascape paintings and landscape oil art are created to bring a sense of calm, light and connection with nature into your home.
Every painting is individually crafted using professional-quality oil paints and carefully layered glazes to achieve richness of colour, depth and luminosity. No two paintings are ever exactly the same, making each piece a unique and personal work of art.
Please feel free to explore the gallery and immerse yourself in the beauty of the coast and countryside.
Janet's oil painting of Dancing Ledge, beautifully captures the raw energy and quiet majesty of the Dorset coastline.

The painting of Bournemouth Beach is absolutely lovely. The soft colours and gentle waves make you feel like you're there on the sand, and the way the sky blends into the sea is so calming, and the whole piece has a warm, peaceful vibe. It's beautiful, uplifting, how gorgeous Bournemouth can be. Thank you

Janet's oil paintings of the coastal views are fantastic. Her Large Wave oil painting I have hanging in our lounge, is amazing; her artwork is second to none. They are so true to life, an absolutely amazing artist
