Artist celebrating nature’s colours through painting, mixed media and textiles artwork
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!
Fabulous news just in that I’ve been accepted to produce a finished piece of art for Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council (SMBC) entitled: Surreal Solihull.
It’s going to be a busy Christmas all round this year! My artwork is to be delivered 27 January 2025! So exciting… watch this space!
Last Christmas holidays were also busy creating artwork for my solo show entitled: Beautiful Open Spaces. It’s definitely a great time of year! 🥂
Wishing you all a happy Christmas, and wonderful 2025 🤶

It’s come to this, I can’t believe I can’t formulate an image in my head, I can’t think of anything, it’s gone dead!
These and many other phrases are said by most artists at some time or other, believe me! It can happen at any time, time away from the fluidity of painting for whatever reason or life events. It happens to most of us!
Best advice is not to fret, easy hey? Not always, so, sketch pad to hand… doodle! Shapes, lines, swirls, anything. Relax, get comfortable. Before you know it you’ll be finding some reoccurring theme to your doodles. Keep with it, now move into thumb nail sketches, as many and as crazy as you like but above all remain relaxed – this is your time. Get the colours out and continue doodling or playing with colours. Allow yourself to play. This is one of my best top tips: allow yourself to play. Out of this time will flow ideas or feelings that you may not have been fully aware of. Take this further and you’re on the road to your next piece.
Happy discovery x
