Photographing the Landscape – Full Circle Artist Bursary Update

Oct 27, 2016

Spending the past two months working on my new photographic strand of work alongside my painting practise has been an interesting journey so far. Following the photographic course at Leeds College of Art I had an overall concept for this new work but as always, since getting out in the field, it has evolved into […]

Marrakech… a whole new world of wondrous sights

Jul 19, 2016

My honeymoon in Marrakesh is probably up there as one of my most memorable holidays and a reminder that you don’t have to travel far to experience a whole new world. Having never been to Africa before I have been hesitant in the past to visit. This was pretty much down to all the stories […]

My journey: Other arty projects niggling at my side

Jun 28, 2016

You know when you have an itch you can’t scratch. Well I’ve got a few of them and I’ve had them for a while now. Unfinished projects that I started and gave up on. They seemed a fantastic idea at the time but then they fell by the wayside when perhaps they got a little […]

My Love of the Sea – A Poem

May 13, 2016

 Formby beach and sand dunes Choosing a high vantage spot with views out towards the sea. We were nestled in a sandy pocket amongst the long marram grass and sea holly. I always feel at one when I’m by the coast and know that ultimately one day I’ll live by the sea. The sea means […]

Taking off masking fluid I find it really interesting that many successful creative people have the same personality trait in common: they are open to new experiences. Having an open mind, a willingness to try new things or at least entertain the prospect of new ideas is the key to encouraging creativity within yourself. It’s […]

Outdoor sketching on the Transpennine Trail for new art commission

Jan 25, 2016

Last weekend I made a trip out and about to a section of the Trans Pennine Trail in Didsbury, South Manchester. Sketching en-plein air is so integral to my practise at the moment that the exciting prospect of being newly commissioned by Ultra Marathon running organisation, GB Ultras, is a brilliant opportunity for me. As […]

7New Solo Show ‘A Question of Landscape’ in Manchester

New Solo Show ‘A Question of Landscape’ in Manchester

May 15, 2015

  My first solo show will take place at the cool Bankley Gallery in Levenshulme, Manchester (in-between the city centre & Didsbury). The unceasing renewal of the landscape is ever present in the long history of art. ‘A Question of Landscape’ explores the complexities of interpreting landscape and offers up an alternative, slightly anarchic, approach to […]

8Championing the merits of street art

Championing the merits of street art

Mar 24, 2015

Street art has always been a favourite of mine. Right from its grass roots origins, it steers clear of mainstream popularity allowing for a freedom of expression that is hard to find these days. I love the fact that you can be wandering around a particular part of a city and come across a fantastic […]
