2024

Quick update on a busy year!

2024 ends with the Winter Collection of EVAN. This network of artists has been brilliant for exhibiting my paintings, cards and prints in their different collections throughout the year at their Penrith gallery, where there is something for everyone.

September 2024 The exhibition at Talkin Tarn Alex Boathouse Gallery, a delightful setting with the company of the wildfowl and the beeches on the lakeside turning gold. The light in this little gallery reflected from the lake was wonderful giving the visitors and the work a special lift. Alongside were Anna McKay and designer creatives Jan Marshall and Dixon Tubman.

hArt week 2024 The open studios week in Hereford, my annual visit to the studio venue of Bridget Drakeford, exhibiting alongside jewellers Belinda Terry and Tara Coomber, the furniture maker Brian Maiden and the fabric artist Katharine Guerrier. Great crowd of creatives!

Upfront Gallery Unthank near Penrith  The Summer Exhibition Showing larger works in this ever changing venue.

June 2024 MiBi at the Ice House Gallery, Holland Park, London W8  This was a joint exhibition with Bridget Drakeford; a real treat for midsummer.
