I have a number of paintings “on the go”, with the idea of developing the series ofContinue reading “New work developing & expensive open art competitions!”

Artists everywhere need support to carry on their practice. This could be through a purchase of their work, a print or simply an art card. Making a purchase can help and artist fee the confidence to develop their practice work further. Over these last few days at Arundel Gallery Trail, I may not have madeContinue reading “Supporting an artist by a small purchase”

Not a great start

Our family had an awful start to the new year with a bereavement to someone extremely close to me. This has inevitably had a major impact on my ability to find physical and mental space to create artwork. Some artists can channel grief and trauma through to their artwork, I personally have not been ableContinue reading “Not a great start”

Refreshing exhibitions

Always important to refresh your current exhibitions if you get a chance. Prevents your display feeling stagnant to potential buyers who have come along more than once.
