I recently heard that my “Winter Hellebores” artwork is going to be used for a greeting card, I was chosen by @dry_red_press via the @royalsocbritishartists exhibition
I am so excited to see this piece go out into the world 😊

A picture for a winter’s day, when being inside looking out is preferable to facing the weather.
There are still a few of this edition left, I made the first ones for an exhibition titled, “through the window” for @westendhousegallery many years ago, I have since made a few a year and as they sell I make a few more, I am nearly at the end of the edition now, they are all a little different due to my inability to make an identical edition, I just can’t help playing, adding bits or changing colours as I go.
Is this a problem my fellow printmakers have?
This one just sold @theartagency.uk

What flowers do you look for in winter?
I am always drawn to Hellebores, they are winters survivors - subtle, strong, and quietly dramatic. Yet another flower I like to draw on repeat.

1. This year has been shaped by quiet work, repeated looking, and time spent with flowers and familiar objects. 2. Making art continues to teach me patience, allowing images to emerge through process rather than force.
3. Teaching @westdeancollege and @ochreprint has been an incredibly rewarding experience, I have enjoyed the joy and creativity of my students
4. I’m grateful for the galleries and art societies who support my work, I feel truly lucky to be able to do what I do and I rely on their support to enable me to make work
5. It’s been an amazing year for trying new media, there is so much to learn but I am hoping 2026 will be the year I finally make that sculpture that’s been in my head for so long!

Very excited to share that I have a new gallery! ✨
I’m now working with Art and Beyond in Beaminster, and they’re currently showing some of my work — including a few of these pieces.

It’s always such a pleasure to see work out in the world, and I’m really happy to be part of this lovely gallery.
If you’re in Dorset, do pop in and have a look.

Dandelions in Front of St Paul’s

A little rebellion in the city!
Dandelions pushing their way through the concrete — golden, bright, unapologetic. Wonderful golden weeds popping up uninvited but clearly meant to be.
Painting them in front of such an iconic building as St Pauls felt like celebrating the small, the overlooked, the wild. First made for an exhibition celebrating London @forartssake

“Stories in Bloom” – Commission Piece

This piece was such a joy to make, celebrating favourite flowers and well-loved bottles, each associated with a different family member, even the shelf was based on a piece of stained glass from the family house.
As the commission began I could almost see the memories hovering around the objects.
Bringing those pieces together felt like telling a story.

If you could choose flowers or objects to tell your story, what would they be? I’m always curious what people would include.

A few pictures of my work showing in ‘A New language in Clay’, @wattsgallery
This new ceramic piece has been made in response to the quiet disappearance of Britain’s wild flowers.
Each piece is made in remembrance of a species now fading from our fields and hedgerows — a reflection on fragility, resilience, and what we stand to lose.

Come see this new work alongside other artists from @marybransonart ceramic group

Sad to have missed the private view at The Soden Gallery — it looked like such a wonderful evening, thank you to @henry_jabbour for sending me some pictures of the evening

Huge thanks to everyone at @thesodengallery for the beautiful display and for championing artists with such care.

Delighted to share that this small mixed media painting, ‘Winter Beauties’, will be exhibited at the Soden Gallery, Shrewsbury, from 31st October to 15th November.

This piece layers texture and colour to celebrate the quiet beauty of everyday still life.

I’ve just sent out a little newsletter (yes, miraculously, it exists!) with free tickets to the Affordable Art Fair 🎟️✨
If you’d like to come along, DM me or sign up via my website — promise there’s art, not algorithms.

I have also spent the morning wrestling with my website — honestly, it’s like pulling teeth! The best bit is chatting to the lovely Garry @cagedfish who is always so patient with me when after many hours of ‘why does this not work’ find out I just missed the ‘publish all changes’ button, do any of us artists find this a pleasure? Comments and rants welcome, hopefully you will make me feel better.
Give me ink, paper and a pot of glue any day!
Instagram, on the other hand, feels a bit like chatting over a cup of tea while the paint dries ☕🎨 — much more my speed.

Do you rotate your art like your cushions with the seasons, or keep the same pieces year-round? I swap mine around a bit but generally only if it’s my artwork and I want to sell it

They are late again this year, but so worth the wait, just love a dahlia!...

This dahlia is a monotype print—a one-of-a-kind piece created in a single impression. Unlike editions, no two monotypes can ever be the same, which makes this print completely unique.

Do you prefer art that comes in editions, or do you love the idea of a one-off, never-to-be-repeated piece? I often wonder this as I struggle to make an identical edition, and drive my galleries crazy that no two are the same

As the season shifts, I’ve been looking through my collection of works, this piece feels very appropriate - seed heads, fading flowers, butterflies, pebbles. Each piece feels like a keepsake from summer walks.
I love the autumn it’s good to be in the studio as the weather gets cooler.
I have just added this piece to my website, finally got round to doing some updating, medium sized pictures are now all autumnal!
