I’m taking a few weeks away from social media. I’m longing to lose myself in my work again—to rediscover the quiet escapism that art brings. That place where hours disappear unnoticed and the outside world falls away. I’ve reached the point with my current pieces where they need to be hidden from me. The urge to keep tweaking, adjusting and adding is still there, but I’m happy with them. They…

This Weekend I am taking part in DRAWN at The Shrewsbury Flaxmill Maltings (the Grand Daddy of Skyscrapers) I will be trialing some new giclee prints for feedback following the interest in large and small scale pictures. It will also be the first viewing of art that I’ve become rather fond of seeing daily in my studio. Prices available on request. This artwork spills it’s contents onto the…

My sketchbook trip to NYC 2025

Creating this piece of art was a deeply personal experience for me, as it represents the culmination of years of sketching my daughter. Since the day she was born, she has been both my muse and my model, and as she has grown into a young woman, our bond h

Advice for Presenting your wares at Markets / Fairs and Events Most stalls consist of a table, chair and any extras you might bring like rails or picture stands.

New Concept ... let me know what you think ?

There aren’t many occasions when you feel at ease with being watched. As a people sketcher I try to be unseen and if someone is uncomfortable I stop. At Weddings everyone is ok with it ! knowing cameras will be everywhere you are mentally prepared to be snapped before you even arrive so the same principle extends to being drawn. Hallelujah ! I love drawing at weddings. Jasmine & Gregory’s…

See anyone you know ?

The most honest thing I've ever done.

During 2021 I was asked to represent the Lamy Alstar (a classic fountain pen) in their new Thinking Tools campaign. The concept was very honest and a true representation of what I’m about so I was more than happy to be a part of it. Sadly due to Covid restrictions the film team were unable to travel to the UK. At this point I asked Aaron Child if he would be able to help. Working with Aaron made…

When I was asked to paint a BT Box lockdown hadn’t long ended and I was glad to get out in the fresh air. Saffron and Hannah had already done their BT boxes but the concept was still new and it was assumed that one person was painting them all.
