Exploring Time: An Artist’s Perspective
Posted on 11th June 2025
I am pleased to announce the opening of my new show “Exploring Time: A Painter’s Perspective”.
My new exhibition, which I have worked on for many years, focuses on the concept of time. Our landscape is formed by enormous forces, but our experience of it is generally superficial and momentary. My journey will be an attempt to understand and elucidate the influence of time on some of our landscapes’ current appearances.
This project, my 19th, will span the globe, allowing me to revisit some of the landscapes that I know intimately – the Grand Canyon, the Western United States and the UK – and others that I knew only by reputation.
I have structured my experiences of Earth’s development by grouping the works into Geological Time, Biological Time, Human Time and Fleeting Moments.
This has resulted in a stunning and beautiful exhibition of over 50 paintings which should appeal to a wide audience. I hope it will be visually impressive as well as thought provoking.
The exhibition can be viewed at the following venues:
Cornwall Museum and Art Gallery, Truro
July 8th – October 25th 2025.
Royal Watercolour Society (RWS), London
November 8th – December 20th 2025

Watercolour Diaries from the Green River
I began this series of painting in 2018 and completed it in 2023. It is a visual account of my 780 mile journey hiking, rafting and canoeing along the Green River from its headwaters in the Wind River Mountains, Wyoming to it confluence with the Colorado River in Utah.
This exhibition has already been exhibited at the Whitney Western Art Museum, Wyoming; the Museum of Northern Arizona, Flagstaff; Booth Western Art Museum; Cartersville, Georgia; The National Museum of Wildlife Art, Jackson Hole.
I am pleased to announce that it will be on display this summer at the University of the Pacific, California.
