A Fresh Beginning for My Website in 2026 Reflections and Renewed Commitment Last year, I must admit I was neglectful of my website, despite having several events I could have shared. As is often the case, social media and website maintenance can be time-consuming. However, I am now taking the opportunity to refresh my perspective […]

            In my previous post I described my developing mixed media practice, so I thought I would share something about my postcards which are a consistent strand of my art practice, for around 15 years. I think this is due to the portability and ease of use, the postcards lending […]

I feel very lucky to be ending 2024 with a flurry of activity! I have work in forthcoming the shows – Cardiff MADE and Oriel Canfas in Cardiff, and in Cwtsh for Newport’s Art on the Hill trail. I thought I would take this opportunity to say a little about the development of my imagery […]

It is Art On The Hill time, the weekend long trail and events festival on Newport’s West. I have a window gallery of paintings and drawings to view at home. The collection titled Shifting Seasons, reflecting the common theme of landscape but also our experiences as human beings in recent times. There will also be […]

This is a black ink drawing made in a process that I love; using wax for the underdrawing creates the element of surprise in my mark making when the ink is then applied. Coloured oil pastels also create a strong contrast in this […]
