New thinking about painting
New thinking about painting Although I am now halfway through this painting year I have decided to make a complete change of approach to my work and have been tentatively working in a more abstract way to generate paintings that don’t explicitly describe a...
Recently I was contacted by a gallery in Thame expressing an interest in my paintings.
A gallery owner rarely approaches an artist to see if they would be interested in showing work in their gallery! I was delighted to speak to Susannah of Fitch & Fellows recently who wanted me to send some images of my recent work. This was an offer that I had long...
