Salvage 3 Selected for @swainfo annual exhibition

Salvage 3
Selected for @swainfo annual exhibition at the @mallgalleries.

The urban boatyard is always there. Wander round and you will see paint dribbles, scratched and worn paint work and curved hull shapes.
I cut paste, collage, sand, reassemble until
new exciting shapes,marks and compositions reveal themselves.
Salvage series.

This collage painting holds a special place in my heart. With the help of a jigsaw we travelled together from the conventional square into the unknown and it was so releasing!

Join me in Morocco?? I’m holding a special sket

Join me in Morocco??

I’m holding a special sketchbook retreat, hosted by Uptrek, in Agadir, Morocco from Saturday 30th August to the Saturday 6th of September.

Many of you know that I used to organise my own retreats in France and Italy. I really enjoy teaching in a new sunny environment with small groups of like-minded creatives, who love nothing more than working together in their sketchbooks.
I love this way of working and I love Morocco!
I also know how reassuring it is, as a solo traveller, to travel with a group and share ideas, stories, experiences and delicious meals together. This Uptrek retreat covers everything!

Pack your sketchbook and join me??

About Me

After attending Art College in Yorkshire I headed south, with my sketchbooks in hand to far sunnier countries: Turkey, Greece, India, Morocco, the Caribbean, and then eventually settling in New Zealand before returning to the UK ten years later.. Read More
