Being a member of North Somerset Arts means I can take part in the biannual members’ exhibition. Once again it is taking place at Failand Village Hall – see poster for all the info. A great opportunity to see so many members work under one roof! You’ll see a selection of my monochromatic monotypes on display amongst some wonderfully colourful work and 3D pieces.
I also love that children get a chance to become art collectors with a specially priced table for them to choose something to buy for £15 and under.
We also like to tempt you with our popup cafe selling delicious cakes with tea or coffee!
This year it’s bigger than ever, with over 40 local artists opening their homes and studios to the public. I’ll be in Hannah More Cottage again. Come and say hello and collect your map. We’re open 10.30 – 4.30.
Wander through the picturesque village of Cheddar at your own pace, meet the artists, see the work being made, and take home original, affordable art. Alongside the studios you’ll find workshops to take part in and charity stalls supporting local causes. More info on the website https://www.cheddarartists.com/cheddarartstrail-2026
Here’s a taster of the work that I’ll have on show…..
Join us for a glass of wine at the Preview evening on Friday 13th March or enjoy a chat with a friend over a cuppa and a slice of delicious homemade cake any time over the weekend. We are open 10am – 5pm Saturday and Sunday. Meet the artists and browse our latest offerings at your leisure. As usual I will be exhibiting alongside fellow professional artists from the village and local author Richard Masters who has published a new book of short stories. We’ve had some fabulous feedback in the past and we hope this exhibition will inspire you just as much this year.
Entry is free and there is plenty of parking. We look forward to welcoming you.
Very pleased to report that two of my monotypes have been selected for this iconic annual exhibition and that one of them has sold. This wonderful exhibition is always a delight and I can’t wait to see it when I visit this week. Please note it closes on Saturday 10th January so these are the last few days for you to catch this inspiring show. See more here https://www.bsaorg.uk
Can you spot my works? “Brean Down II” and “Towards the Tor II”
I’ve been running Foundation and Peer to Peer workshops with Clevedon Art Club for almost 18 months and am enjoying every minute.
Head over to the website for venue details, a materials list and to book your space. There are a handful of places left. Perfect for beginners and anyone who wants to improve their skills with charcoal. It’s a very forgiving medium and great fun to work with. Hope to see you there!
What is so unusual about this exhibition is that all the work is for sale at ONLY £30!! A great way to buy affordable, unique art work whilst supporting local artists and makers.

The autumn term with Clevedon Art Club began with two sold out workshops! Thank you to everyone who attended and were brave enough to go out of their comfort zone to achieve some wonderfully expressive ink and watercolour drawings and expressive flowers in acrylics.
Start with a coffee followed by a walk along one of the many tracks, maybe to a bird hide, followed by a gander around the spacious gallery where you’ll find artwork, gifts and greetings cards, before stopping for lunch at the café where you can eat indoors or out.
I love being a part of this group of artists and makers. Maybe come and say hello when I’m stewarding – Tuesday 26th August and Tuesday 23rd September.
