Sea Kayaking UK Project - Oct 24
I’m a sponsored paddler for Sea Kayaking UK and have been working on a collaboration with the factory to combine a piece of my artwork within the resin of the kayak.
I started by making a template of the boat and creating an original artwork that fit the space. The Red Dragon is the company’s logo and a great subject to work with. After time spent researching and developing, the final boat was launched in Holyhead Harbour and looked fantastic! SKUK are now offering a limited edition option using different colours on any kayak model or a bespoke design service where I can create another original design.
Greenland Project - May 24
This summer I’ll be returning to the West Coast of Greenland launching from Illulisat on expedition, taking a group of kayakers with all our supplies and collecting water on the way to explore the coastline off-grid for over two weeks. On my previous trips in 2016 and 2022 I’ve photographed and sketched the extraordinary landscape with a view to highlighting the issue of climate change as I have had first hand experience and seen how the sea ice and environment has changed. It’s a mesmerising environment and this year I am planning a large scale project to capture what I see. More details to follow…
RNLI Project - SW Sea Kayaking Adventure - 23
In 2021 I challenged myself to a charity adventure kayaking all the RNLI SW region and visiting the stations along the way. I’ve fitted the trips as and when I could get time on the water between work and life commitments with favourable weather. It’s taking longer than planned but I’m still going and have visited 18 stations, kayaked 450km and raised £1000!
