    Exhibition Time!

    Delighted to have work selected for a six week long exhibition at Mrs Jones Art Shop & Gallery, Shrewsbury UK. The owner of this lovely little boutique gallery Faye, is a talented artist herself and hugely supportive of local artists. Here I am with my painting 'Dusk Whispers Over the Wrekin'.

    NEW STUDIO!

    NEW STUDIO!

    A recent house move has enabled me to have a wonderful, large studio and storage space. It's been so exciting to get this set up and start work here. Just need to paint over the wallpaper - I don't dislike it but it's a little distracting and photobombs every picture I take 😆

    I'm delighted to have some of my work in ARTWORX GALLERY in Newport, Shropshire. This is a lovely independent gallery which represents artists from throughout the UK. I'm especially pleased to be the first still life artist they have worked with. The photo shows three of my paintings in the gallery window!

    During February 2018 I was delighted to have my work featured on Artfinder's homepage. The featured painting 'The Blue Shutters' sold within a couple of hours , so it was replaced with 'Yesterday's Gone'. If you like this one be quick - several people have it in their shopping cart!

    First commission of 2018

    It's not often I paint landscapes but this local landmark known as The Wrekin was commissioned by a collector who was from my hometown of Shrewsbury, UK but now lives in Canada. The painting is titled 'The Wrekin Wakes'

    WRITING MY BLOG

    WRITING MY BLOG

    In addition to painting, I also love to write. I have a blog called RHYMES & REASONS which is reflections, thoughts and observations on 21st century life. Sometimes I write poems and on occasion these can provide inspiration for a painting. Most recently I wrote about the work of French abstract expressionist painter Jean-Humbert Savoldelli and I was delighted to learn that it won the first prize in ARTFINDER'S first blog for artists competition.

    Finishing Touches

    Finishing Touches

    I love the varnishing stage. It means I am finally happy with the painting and no more changes will be made to it! I use high quality Gamvar gloss varnish. This helps to make the colours 'sing' but without having too much of a sheen and also helps to protect the paint.
