Having been postponed for 2 years, Printfest, the upmarket, well curated, festival of all things print is happening! Taking over the small town of Ulverston in the Lake District between Thursday 28th April and Sunday 1st May, it will be a wonderful smorgasbord of contemporary printmakers and their wares. A great place to continue a …
I’m delighted to say that I’ve delivered a small selection of pieces to ‘Makers’ at the top of Colston Street in Bristol, in the heart of the Christmas Steps Creative Quarter. 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 …

With a plethora of Arts Trails and Open Studios to choose from this autumn, why not make your first port of call Portishead- with 3 wonderful venues within walking distance – in fact the half hour walk along the South West Coast Path between Portishead Pier and Black Nore Lighthouse (my venue 28 is along …
Usually a Spring affair, NSAW is finally happening in an autumnal guise. I’ll be showing work (probably erring on the side of Severn estuary, wild weather, Steep Holme and Denny Island) at 12 Glenwood Rise, Portishead alongside Ian Price (en plein air artist extraordinaire) and Hamish Young (who makes stunning sculptures and Royal West of …

The wonderful @bristol.market has asked me to be a part of this weekend’s beautifully curated online market. This market only includes up to 30 makers on one weekend and they’re all up to scratch ethically, locally, and sustainably. Most are offering a discount for this weekend only- including me. There’s 20% off all prints in …
My topic this term is combining line and painterly marks. I’ve managed to make some pretty large drypoints by hand- which involves quite a lot of muscle power, by the way- essentially my arms are replacing the pressure of a printing press! I’m currently adding mono print to them and hope to have them finished …
