Alleyne works in advertising as a creative and lives in the Peak District National Park, but in recent years has turned to his beloved paints for more inspiration.

Alleyne uses acrylic paints and oils with palette knives to give a textural impression of seascapes and landscapes.

His parents live by the sea on the Isle of Skye in Scotland, and he has been going there since childhood. He has always been passionate about the quality of light on Skye and is in awe of the changing weather patterns and the contrast in light that this brings; this is where he enjoys the challenge of representing these areas of magnificent beauty and representing them.
