Solo at Centrespace

Thank you to those people who managed to find me at the Centrespace Gallery, Bristol during my solo show. The private view was a highlight during an enjoyable and successfull week and it was good to exhibit back in my hometown.

Fieldnotes Special

I printed an exclusive rerun of my Fieldnotes for Walcot House, a company that designs accessories for contemporary interiors. They were added to a goodie bag at a prestigious design fair.

Tea & Make on Wye

I was invited by sally and Esther of Tea & Make who organised yet another creative gathering on the banks of the River Wye this September, outside the Ye Olde Ferrie Inn.

the rain stayed away enough for us to set out our stalls and make the most of the last summer sunshine. My new 'Seabird' series of limited edition prints are featured below.

My County

Charlie Gladstone of Pedlars, a company that sells home wares and designer gifts, both contemporary and vintage, commissioned me to create an exclusive range of screen prints to sell on-line and at various outlets.

'My County' is currently available in editions of 20 as Dorset/Thomas Hardy, Devon/Cream Teas, Somerset/Cider and Cornwall/Land's End.

Edinburgh Art Fair

Smithson Gallery, Bristol will be representing and exhibiting my work at this year's Edinburgh Art Fair from the 18th to 21st November on stand E7.

This year promises to be better than ever with the highest quality and most eclectic range of original art ever to have been seen in Scotland's capital city.

A is for Animalphabet

I recently hand printed at Spike Island, Bristol the first three cards of my new Animalphabet series. I chose a selection of animals with a winter connection as we approach Christmas and the card/gift buying season. The same images will be available as prints in 2011.

Front Room

If you're wondering what to do before the Christmas rush, why not get out and about and visit Bristol's oldest open house art trail this November.

I will be part of the Front Room trail in its 10th year at 84 St Lukes Crescent, Totterdown along with Lucie Sheridan. We will be opening on Friday 19th from 6pm and over the weekend 12pm to 6pm.
