It may be slightly early to pen a round-up of my year but I’m at a point where I’m reflecting on the Solo Show and exhibitions I’ve been a part of.  I’m currently excited about the artwork I’m creating as its part of a long-standing engagement with painting – whether collaged, in a bigger assemblage, […]

It’s grown so much and people really enjoy reading it which means I have to blog a lot more! Unfortunately I don’t have the time to dedicate visiting new exhibitions and […]

I’m taking over the Instagram feed of @DivineLocale this week in the run-up to FLUCTU-8 Arts Festival in Derby this August. It’s a great chance to follow a great contemporary arts organisation and read all about my practise. I’m planning to show images from ROSE TINTED, plus behind-the-scenes shots in my studio and new pieces […]
