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 500 works and book eight commenced on February 23, 2025

h.Art ( Herefordshire Arts Week)  2026 

I have decided 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.

MAKING MARKS – EXHIBITION

at The Old Mayor’s Parlour Gallery, Hereford.

June 6th – 27th   Open daily from 11am – 4pm 

The exhibition, promoted by Helen Hammond, brings together four artists who have been inspired by the individual qualities of their practice.  Helen’s partner, Gordon Campbell (1931-2020), will also be represented  by some of his wonderful landscape studies which have a unique abstract quality.  He studied with Elizabeth Blackadder and John McTaggart at Edinburgh College of Art in the 1950’s.

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. website: www.clearwellcaves.com
