October 2016 - New House - New Studio - New Start!
| 2015 - 2016 has been a stop start year due to family and health issues plus the small matter of moving to a new home and all that entails. However, we are now firmly settled in the beautiful little village of Brinton, North Norfolk and I have a brand new garden studio in which to create!
After months of inactivity, the Summer of 2016 marked a welcome return to painting and a very successful one-man show at the revamped gallery at Cley Nature Reserve, which coincided with their 90th Anniversary celebrations. |

As a result I featured on BBC Look East which was fantastic publicity resulting in additional sales - a stunning TV debut even if I say so myself!
I was part of a group show at Blickling Hall followed by two successful EAGMA events at Raveningham Barns and Sathouse Church. I was delighted to have two paintings selected for the Institute of East Anglian Artists Annual Open at Picturecraft in Holt. The standard of work was exceptional this year. |

Soft Pastel continues to be an increasing passion and my favourite medium. I am curently experimenting with alcohol washes on various brands of liquid tolerant surfaces with some great effects. Watch this space! |
