Autumn News and shows

Hello all!

Is it Autumn already?! Crikey, where did the summer go? It felt like there was a definite 'off' switch just before the children went back to school! 

I am pleased to say I had a very sucessful Denbies solo show in April, and have booked another one (my fifth) in January 2018! I do love showing my work there. The variation of visitors, that perhaps wouldn't normally visit an art exhibition is brilliant. 

I have also become a member of the Surrey Art Fairs Group. The next pop up art exhibition is this Sunday 1st October at Gatton Park, Reigate. I have decided to exhibit and sell (hopefully) my pastel landscapes as Gatton is quite a tradtional and beautiful place, which I didn't think my Fractured work would fit necessarily.
Gatton Park. Pastel. 21cm x 29cm.

I have also been invited to take part in the Shere Art Fair, on the 21st October. It is the beginning of the Christmas (shhh don't say that word!) events! More details to follow. I also update my Facebook page on a daily basis, so do please pop along there.

I am also proud to say that I now have a proper shop that you can purchase original work, prints and other goodies. Here's the address for that.

Do go and take a look, and perhaps treat yourself?

I'm nearing completion of my next adult colouring book! I can't say much more than that now, but will let you know when it's up and on Amazon!

Here's yet another link to where you can purchase my last 4.

I will be back for another blog very soon!

Thanks for reading.

Another solo show, and other stories......

Well here we are, spring has finally arrived! Although looking outdoors right now, I am finding it hard to believe- I am looking at hailstones and listening to thunder!
I've been working with The Weald School for these past few months, creating 3 murals based on the school ethics and beliefs. It has been an absolute pleasure working with the head mistress and the pupils so closely.
These are the murals I completed. The third one, based on their 'Habits of Mind' is almost complete!

Christian Values

Main School Mural.

In other  news. In April, I am holding another solo exhibition at Denbies Wine Estate in Dorking, Surrey. This is my fourth time I have exhibited there. It's such a lovely place, and a great day out. I will be exhibiting almost 100 original paintings, miniatures, pebble paintings and unframed originals and a few prints.
It begins on Monday 3rd April from 9.30 and ends Sunday 9th at 5.00pm. I will be there every day, painting, so do come and say hello!


Finally, I am thrilled and honoured to have been shortlisted for 'Up & Coming Artist' by the Fine Art Trade Guild. The awards ceremony will take place in May, and I won't know if I have won until then. Here is a list of the nominees- Good luck to us all!!

Happy New Year!

One of my New Year Resolutions is to make a concerted effort to update my blog more than twice a year. Huge apologies for my tardiness! And I wish you all a very Happy New Year.

Last year I left you in the midst of the Surrey Cow Parade. I completed Leafy Moo, and then was asked again to paint another cow, in two weeks! This one was for Kier Construction, in aid of Alzeimers Research. I managed to design and complete her in time!
The Highway Cow'd- for Keir Construction in aid of Alzeimers Research.

'Leafy Moo'- for Hart Brown Solicitors in aid of Cherry Trees Respite Home.
They were then auctioned off, along with 20 others at Sandown Racecourse in September. They both raised a total of just over £8,000! I was thrilled to bits and it was a fabulous gala evening.

I am grateful to still be in contact with Cherry Tree's Respite home, and have donated my time to them to create an ongoing mural for ther reception area. I also created a mini Leafy Moo as a souvenir from the Surrey Cow Parade!


Continuing my muraling (is that a word?!) I am now working with The Weald Primary School, Beare Green, Surrey, creating 4 murals for the front area of the school. Here's the first one, in place.
It looks small- But it's 2 metres by 1 metre high!

Another two have just been delivered, but are not in place yet. My next one will be designed with a very talented student at the school on Monday!

At the end of 2016, I created a new Christmas colouring book, to sit alongside my Fractured colouring book, and Alphabet Animal book. It sold well, and hopefully keep going all year! I have plans to create another book.This time a meditiative, relaxing theme.

I have been very busy with numerous commissions for my customers. Working closely with clients is something which inspires me and I find incredibly enjoyable. Two paintings which were requested, was from a gentleman who works for Wasps rugby club. He loved my Fractured style, especially the sport paintings. He kindly sent me reference photos of the team members and then developed two acrylic paintings based on them, their speed and their movement. I hope I have achieved the dynamism!

An award I have recently won was from the 'Light, Space Time Gallery'. I entered this piece below. The Jewellery Box. This is a little different for me as I generally don't copy photographs. However, I staged and positioned these items for the photo, so I guess there was a bit of creativity there! It is completed in coloured pencil, which is becoming a firm favourite for me as a medium. I have also just joined The Australian Coloured Pencil Society to add to my list of memberships!




Next on the list is a new solo exhibition at one of my favourite venues, Denbies Wine Estate.
It will be taking place there from Monday the 3rd April until Sunday the 9th. I will be exhibiting original artwork, my published books, sculpture and painted animals, inspired by my taking part in the cow parade! I hope you will come and visit me as I will be there every day painting.

'Gerald' the paper mache giraffe!


I promise to be back very soon!!! Bye for now.
