Artwork

My recent work focuses mainly on the use of acrylic inks to which I add other media. My earlier work uses other media—most specifically soft pastel, acrylic paint and watercolour pencils.

The Studio

I run courses, workshops and other events for people of all ages. Here you can find out what’s on at the studio and see pictures from past events.

Exhibitions

I display my work several times throughout the year at galleries, community arts centres and festivals. See what’s coming up and have a look at displays from previous years.
