‘Moonrise’ included in the SFSA Painting Open 2024 - Preview on 5th December 2024
Over the past few months, it’s been exciting to have the opportunity to focus on working in colour. I’m mainly using watercolour as I love the way it can be both fluid and linear, and the way it feels so close to drawing.

I’m delighted my panoramic drawing ‘Edge of the Storm’ has been sold and is off to a new home.
I began the drawing in the afternoon on 18th February 2022. Earlier that day, I’d been delivering a drawing workshop focussing on Leon Kossoff for the Courtauld Institute of Art’s Young People’s Programme. I was grateful to be teaching online, from home, as Storm Eunice was raging outside.

New drawings on show at ArtHub Open Studios 10th & 11th September 2022
