Happy New Year and best wishes to all my followers. Thank you for your interest and support last year.

2024 began well as my article on ‘how to create gold leaf paintings’ appeared in the SAA Winter magazine – Paint and Create. My painting Satsuma Salsa, which I posted before Christmas, was created in order to explain the process to SAA members. The painting is now for sale at £300 unframed or £350 framed in a double black and gold frame. (8×8 inches, oil painting with faux gold leaf on board). Contact me for details.

I have an exciting year ahead. The exhibition year begins with the Bath Art Fair in February, where I will be exhibiting my oil paintings and gold leaf paintings. In May I will have a solo show at Spetchley Park Gardens, where I am continuing my Artist in Residency in 2024. I am also planning exhibitions in Worcester later in the year and dates have yet to be confirmed.

I continue to exhibit my work in two online galleries – White Court Art and Sixteen Online, having exhibited in Sixteen Gallery in Cheltenham last year. Do take a look. This website will be redesigned too and I hope to expand selling direct online. If you have not seen my prints shop yet here is the link. The prints proved popular at a local Christmas Art Fair and they can be bought mounted or mounted and framed.

Finally, I am always happy to hear from my followers. If you are not yet on my mailing list please click here and I will add you. I do a monthly newsletter from the studio with news of new work, invitations to private views, and exhibitions. In the meantime I hope 2024 is a good year for you.
