A long standing and reliably curated gallery and shop, which has carved an ‘original print’ niche for itself, I think my work should fit […]

Amazingly, with only a month and a half to go, the new organisers of Totterdown Arts Trail have decided to pull it all together, in an almighty effort, for the 20th and 21st November (no doubt there will be a haphazard element to the weekend, which is no new or bad thing). This arts trail

Usually a Spring affair, NSAW is finally happening in an autumnal guise.

If you follow me on Instagram, some of you may know that I’ve been taking the Creative Visionary Programme this year- an online 12 week course led by Nicholas Wilton. The premise is essentially trying out the principles taught each week on 30x30cm panels- using acrylics. This is quite a challenge for me-partly as I
