Autumn approaching…
The summer is already feeling like a distant memory but as the nights draw in I feel more able to focus on time in the studio and exploring all the ideas that have been sidelined for surf and sun!
A Trio of Printmakers
I’m delighted to be showing work at The Old Coastguard in Mousehole alongside two fantastic local artists, Sara Bevan and Gillian Cooper, each of us inspired by different aspects of the wild coast and moor landscapes in which we live.
The exhibition shines a spotlight on contemporary printmaking in Cornwall, highlighting our individual styles and choices of imagery, whilst giving an insight into the knowledge and expertise of a wide range of techniques belonging to an age-old craft.
Delamore Art 2024
Thrilled to be invited to exhibit at Delamore Arts this year alongside a range of fantastic printmakers represented by Artizan Gallery in Torquay. This is a new venture for this year with a print specific gallery space in the Carriage Room. Launching this weekend and open throughout May. Hope to see you there.
Three Ways West
So excited to be exhibiting alongside two other amazing local artists who explore abstraction rooted in the rugged yet beautiful land and seascapes of their adopted home in West Cornwall – Richard Holliday, Sculptor and Shelley Thornton, Painter at the Penwith Society Gallery in St Ives
Come and see what we’ve created. Preview on Friday 21 June, 5.30pm onwards. Exhibition continues until 20 July.
