July news

A brief update:

The Sanctuary Gallery 20x20 show has ended and plans are in place for a solo show there in November. 

Off to The Project Gallery in Arundel tomorrow with a consignment of work for a group show there. That starts late July and runs for a month. Will post update shortly. 

A painting I've entered into the Threadneedle prize has been preselected   Hand in for the next round to decide who shows at the end of the month. 

Several paintings have sold and commissions are under way. Sales include 'The Crossing', 'non-swimmer', 'Spharistike' and 'Sweet Melinda'. 

More news soon.

20 x 20 winner

Very pleased to announce that I won the 20 x 20 Sanctuary Open with the painting "Love Hex' below.
I've been awarded a solo show at Sanctuary Gallery for later this year or spring next.

20x20

Last night saw the private view at the Sanctuary Gallery in Northampton of their annual open 20 x 20. Three pieces were selected. 

Some nice work by Helen Jarvis and DELMONTE also included. Runs for a month. 

Open Studios

If you didn't get a chance to visit me in the studio last weekend then you get another chance this weekend.

May news

Unfortunately I didn't quite make the final cut for the John Moore's. However I did enjoy my trip to Liverpool to collect the painting where I had a good chat with curator of the show as well as getting to see the exhibition of previous winners. Some big names amongst them. 

In June I'll be showing at the Sanctuary Gallery 20 x 20 Open. Three works were accepted for this and for all three the first time they've been shown. I'll add dates and info for this show soon. If you live in the Northampton area then this is the one for you. 

Also in June I'll be doing Open Studios. Weekends 7/8 and 14/15 from 11-5. If you can make it there's a lot of new work to see. I'm sure there'll be a bottle of wine open just for you.

March news

All a little quiet here with no immediate exhibitions in sight. There's a solo show lined up for later in the year, perhaps September, but all will be revealed in due course. In the meantime I've been pressing on with a new body of work - essentially rolling on from the cancelled exhibition in December. In addition I've been trying to push my collages to form a more solid direction. Some results below.
