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

Just added to the website: small flowers with a little metal attitude 
Tins, Jars, Flowers, and a little dose of color therapy.
Do you have a favourite, daisies, buttercups or a mixed bunch?

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

I’m so grateful to have my work included in the show — and thrilled that one of my pieces found a new home

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.

If you’re in or around Shrewsbury, I’d love for you to stop by and see it in person — and let me know what you think!

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.

They are late again this year, but so worth the wait, just love a dahlia! My allotment is looking a riot of colour, if only in one bed 
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

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!

So many memories of summers in Pembrokeshire on beaches looking in rock pools with a net, bucket and the observer guide to the seashore, while the parents were in the pub!
I still love a rock pool and these on #innisoirr @aranislands.ie were just beautiful, if only I painted abstracts
What are your childhood memories of the beach?
Every time a painting finds its new home, I feel a quiet mix of joy and gratitude. It means someone connected with the moment I tried to capture – and that never stops being amazing. 🙏

Thank you to the wonderful collector who chose this piece and a big thank you to @westendhousegallery for showing my work, your support helps me keep making art

One of the best parts of creating art: seeing where it ends up! 
A lovely client just sent me this photo of their new piece—The Romance of Plant Life—now hanging beautifully on their wall. It’s such a joy to see it living in its new home! I love the reflection of the picture in the mirror 

Where would you hang a piece like this?

Behind the Print: The Battle of intaglio printmaking with large sheets of Damp Paper!
Printmaking isn’t always as graceful as the final artwork may seem. These large sheets of damp paper? Beautiful, yes—but also heavy, floppy, and determined to crease just when you need them to behave!

Lifting and aligning them onto the press without smudging or tearing is a workout in itself—equal parts strength, patience, and prayer 😅. But there’s nothing quite like peeling back that paper and seeing the image revealed for the first time. Totally worth the challenge every time.

Any tips from fellow printmakers as to how to handle a large sheet of damp paper?
