1) I am a guest artist at the Studio 3 Gallery in Clevedon Craft Centre.

Very pleased to be displaying original works of art, archival giclée prints and greeting cards alongside some very talented artists and makers until 16th July.

Always well worth a visit for unique, handmade pieces for your home. https://www.studiothree.art

2) SUMMERTIME – an exhibition with creative workshops being held by the Codename Octopus group of artists and tutors in collaboration with Cadbury Garden Centre. 27th June – 5th July.

Situated behind the restaurant at the back of the garden centre you will find our pop-up gallery has a diverse range of work from ceramics and paintings to fine art photography and printmaking. A great day out if you include a browse around the garden centre, a coffee and cake break followed by a visit to our exhibition.

If you fancy a dabble at some drawing or printmaking head over to the Cadbury Garden Centre website for more information and to book your place. https://events.bluediamond.gg/tickets?branches.branchID=351 They are short taster sessions held twice a day during the week for just £10 per person. A lovely thing to do with a friend.

You’ll find my newest charcoal drawing on display there titled “Shapwick Heath, Somerset Levels” along with archival giclée prints and greeting cards. There are another twelve professional artists and makers taking part and you can be proud to support these local talents by visiting us and having the opportunity to buy something truly special.

Come and see my live charcoal demonstration at the Showground on Thursday 28th May and pop into the adjacent Arts Centre to view my work on display in the annual exhibition open every day. One of my accepted works began as a demo last year right outside the centre! Vote for your favourite piece.

Head over to the website https://www.bathandwest.com/royal-bath-and-west-show to see what’s on – the Artists in Action tent is just a tiny part of what you’ll find there…..

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…..

You’ll find my newest monotypes on show along with archival giclée prints and a selection of greetings cards. Would love to see you there.

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.
