Exhibition at Runnymede Gallery - 5 December 2009 - 28 March 2010

I am delighted to announce that I will be exhibiting at the Runnymede Gallery in Old Windsor, Berkshire, from 5 December 2009 until 28 March 2010.

The gallery, formerly known as 1215 Gallery, is now managed by artist-in-residence Gary Rogers. The exhibition will feature the work of approximately 16 artists.

The gallery is a listed building full of character, which is situated in Old Windsor, an area steeped in history and beautiful scenery.

Combine your visit to the gallery with a visit to the Magna Carta and John F Kennedy memorials. Or one of the lovely country or river walks which start on the gallery's doorstep. And enjoy tea and cake or Sunday lunch at the Magna Carta Tea Rooms opposite the gallery.

More information about the Runnymede Gallery Exhibition is on my exhibitions page.

Video of 'Sight & Touch' art exhibition

Today is the final day of 'Sight & Touch', my solo art exhibition in Henley.

It has been a wonderful, successful exhibition and I have been thrilled by the amazing response to my latest work.

A big thank you to everyone who visited the exhibition or sent me such lovely messages of support.

And, of course, special thanks to those who have bought original paintings or have commissioned me to create a unique work of art for them.

Here are a few images to share some moments from the exhibition.

I welcome your comments. :-)

Bracknell charity art sale

The Charity Art Sale continues this weekend (Saturday & Sunday, 17 & 18 October 2009) , so please pop along if you can to support the artists and the two Berkshire charities concerned.

Sadly, I couldn't participate in the end due to a sudden attack of some horrible 'lurghy', which left me bed-ridden for a week! Still, I'm getting back on my feet now, so enough about that!

I so hope that my fellow artists have been experiencing a fun and successful week. The event got some good local press coverage in the run-up, an example of which I share below.

Group exhibition at the Mall Gallery

Here are a couple of photos from my recent exhibition at the Mall Gallery.

The group exhibition ran from 24 November until 12 December 2008 and my painting, Fruits de Mer, reaped much praise!


Fruits de Mer is an original painting on canvas, in acrylics and mixed media. The painting expresses the beautiful richness of undersea life vis-à -vis the damage and extinction inflicted by man!
