Spring 2023

I have been hibernating in my studio working on a new series of paintings...

Picture

30+ new paintings will be on display at:
​EYPE CENTRE FOR THE ARTS
in June/July 2023


My inspiration is an old painting, found in the back of a damp garage, it has no indication as to the artist, no signature or date. I believe it to be an original from the 1950's, created by a fine art student at the same art school that my father taught in. Since uncovering the work it has been on display in my house, and has now become my source of inspiration!

Watch this space for further details and images.

Picture

Following a very busy summer, consolidating house, life and paintings, I am about to begin a new body of work, not to be seen until next year at the earliest!
​
However, before I put away my current collection, it will enjoy a final flurry at Art Unlimited in Bridport.  Exhibiting as their 'feature artist', I will enjoy having the opportunity to exhibit along side a mixed show, in the centre of Bridport.
From 7th - 19th October, 10-5 at Art Unlimited, 15 South Street, Bridport, DT6 3NR
