SKETCHBOOKS Drawing is used as an act of discovery and my regular sketchbooks are used as part of a preparatory process towards finished works. However, I work in special books, some handmade, creating a piece of work, usually on a Sunday. I started this as a disciplined activity in 2016 as part of my practice. The works do not set out to be related to studio work in progress, but are created spontaneously with any materials that are to hand. To date I have completed over 430 works and book seven commenced on 6th October 2024. 

h.Art ( Herefordshire Arts Week)  2025 

I have decided not to register this year for h.Art. I have been involved for over twenty years and it has been such a valuable experience to be a part of an event that has done so much to increase the profile of the visual arts in the county.

Studio visits by appointment are always welcome. Please email to confirm times.

LUDLOW ASSEMBLY ROOMS

I will be exhibiting at The Assembly Rooms in Ludlow from May 9th – 28th June 2025 alongside the photographer, Mattew Evans. The Exhibition is introduced in the Assembly Rooms Guide as: ” Two artists using very different mediums but both observing and intrigued with how surface is created by the enigmatic quality of layers beneath.”

Clearwell Caves, Forest of Dean.

Most of my natural earth pigments are sourced from the Clearwell Caves. The exhibition which closed in August 2023 was a unique opportunity to see my work in the place where the pigments are mined. Around 30 works were on show including new work using coal, ground to a fine  pigment. website: www.clearwellcaves.com
