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 400 works and book six commenced on 25th February 2024. 

h.Art ( Herefordshire Arts Week) Sept 7 – 15  2024   OPEN STUDIO

I have registered again for the Herefordshire Arts Week and the studio will be open daily from 11am -5pm.  There will be an opportunity to see new works and to find out more about my practice using natural earth pigments.

Studio visits at other times are welcome by appointment.

Full details and my page on the website are now live. www.h-art.org.uk

Clearwell Caves, Forest of Dean.

Most of my natural earth pigments are sourced from the Clearwell Caves. The exhibition which closed at the beginning of February 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
