About
I live and work as a full time artist in the beautiful Chiltern hills, the landscape and woodlands that surround me forms my primary focus at this time. I work in an impressionist style where the subject is important but also the medium, the qualities of the paint and the brushstrokes are integral.

3 questions on inspiration with
Christian Twelftree
We're asking artists to choose one notable person, place and object that has inspired them in their journey so far. We're mapping inspiration at a scale never attempted before
Person
The French impressionist painters (especially Monet) were some of my earliest inspiration and I still feel the same way. They way they created influences still how I create today. I also am constantly absorbing from contemporary artists through Instagram, especially Russian and American artists who have such a strong landscape tradition.
Place
The Chiltern hills have been my home for the last 30 years. Classic English countryside of rolling hills with many patches of woodland just to the north of London. This Chilterns are listed as an area of outstanding natural beauty, and its this place that has really given me my focus in recent years.
Object
The most iconic object for me is the bluebell. This simple flower has challenged me, and become a staple subject and what I am most known for as an artist as well.
