Planning 4m of wall space!

As there are 8 of us artists coming together in the Courtyard Gallery for Gallery Takeover 2025 I’m planning… what does 4m look like? How will my artwork sit together, being framed acrylics, and also this year’s framed watercolours?

I expect we will all have to be adaptable as we are yet to see each other’s work!

The end of the Summer Warwickshire Open Studios this Weekend 5 & 6 July ‘25

What a wonderful summer to host the annual WOS! Thanks to all my friends, neighbours and students who have travelled to see my exhibition in the Warwickshire countryside!

The watercolour paintings have proved very popular with the theme of English Countryside Hedgerows, and associated gift cards both hand painted and printed.

The sun has streamed in as I’ve chatted to visitors, or sat and painted. It’s being an excellent use of time and situation.

Come and visit on our final weekend, there’s plenty to see!

Surreal Solihull is in Town!

It’s up and looks fantastic, sitting proudly outside on the High Street and Drury Lane by Hunters Estate Agents!

It’s given Solihull an area of looking, relaxing, a quiet space between each display. It’s really added value to the Town. Come and see for yourself, free to all.

I can’t believe how time has flown and the exterior exhibition will open from Thursday evening of 6 March 2025.

It will remain in Solihull Town Centre until the end of May when it will move to a new venue in the Borough. A third location is also planned.

Hope to see you there!
