On the 21st September through the afternoon from 2pm into the evening I'll be holding an exciting solo show of my work at Brewdog Upminster.
Register here to see a full range of the work I like to make, from wild landscapes, wildlife and birds to rugby and cricket inspired pieces.
It would be amazing to see you.
During September, I'm back in my happy place, visiting the beautiful Fingringhoe Wick Nature Reserve in Colchester - where my work will be exhibited in the visitor centre for the month or visit on the 25th September between 10-1pm to chat or join me in a spot of plein air painting on the reserve.
The crow is back!
A new crow artwork is my dark offering to the Bobcat 'Shadow and Shade' virtual exhibition this October - check it out or register for free to join the curators tour and launch here.
Brentwood Art Trail 2025
Once again Brentwood Art Trail through the month of June was a blast.
I had such fun, running tours, sessions, painting and chatting with so many amazing people - it's always an inspiration to link up with the local art community always discovering it is more vibrant than ever and growing each year.
A huge thank you to all my partners in crime...
Tom Howley Kitchens (where my exhibition continues)
And amazing artists, John Ball @bewarethevoid (website here) and Nancy Walker @nancywalkerart who I collaborated with in my sessions.
It's been fantastic - can't wait until next year! x
My experience as a Wildcard heat winner
It's been a while now but for those who have just caught me on catch up :) I was lucky enough to enter Sky Landscape of the Year 2023 and win the wildcard heat for the Royal Ascot Picnic Area (Series 8, Episode 5).
It was an incredible day and you can read all about my experiences on my blog post or in my blog post here or read my interview with Cass Art about my experience, process and favourite art materials.
The painting I made is currently on display at Tom Howley, Brentwood and is available for sale here.
If you'd like to watch a rerun of the show you can search for this episode/series on your TV 's catch up or record it for it's next showing. The sky arts webpage also provides some dates and times when being rerun. Sky Arts is free to view on Freeview channel 11 and others.
Bob Cat Gallery Online and IRL!
I've been part of the fantastic Bob Cat Gallery Online for a while now and I love Bob Cat's ethos - offering a range of beautiful, affordable and original, small scale artworks for everyone to own and enjoy.
Now Bob Cat have expanded moving to a larger gallery space at the same location in Putney with visitors able to see a collection of my work, large and small, alongside a huge array of other beautiful art and sculptures.
Find them: Upstairs at Putney Exchange Shopping Centre, Putney High Street, London SW15 1TW.
Check out my profile at the gallery online and work available for sale here.
Rugby Art
A while back I made some art for my local rugby club - Upminster Rugby Club with all proceeds from the work going towards a fundraising drive to improve our club facilities. I'm a huge rugby fan and really loved making art about it.
Check out my page explaining a little bit more about this series of work.
Limited Edition Prints of the four artworks are available to order now.
Head over to my store to see the single artworks listings and special full set offer.
Thinking about buying art...
I've created a quick guide to all the ways my work is available for sale in response to a few questions I've had over the past few months.
Hopefully it should summarise how it all works but of course if you have any questions please just get in touch.
