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 each week. 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 550 works. Book 10 commenced on 21st June 2026.
h.Art ( Herefordshire Arts Week) 2027 – Silver Anniversary I have decided to register for this special year. 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.
MAKING MARKS – EXHIBITION at The Old Mayor’s Parlour Gallery, Hereford. The Exhibition was a great success in June and July 2026 and as a result the group involved have now approached the Courtyard Centre for the Arts in Hereford for a major exhibition to take place hopefully in 2028.
Clearwell Caves, Forest of Dean.
Most of my natural earth pigments used in my practice are sourced from the Clearwell Caves in the Forest of Dean. My 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.
