As we approach the end of 2023 I would like to thank you for your continued support and to welcome new people to my mailing list.

This has been a varied and exciting year for my art pursuits. One of the highlights was a two day art retreat in Broughton, Devon where I met new friends who created some unique and interesting art and where the atmosphere and natural environment were very inspiring. Thank you Adrienne for creating this lovely opportunity for me, and thank you everyone who came for the excellent feedback.

For the month of July I held an exhibition of work at Warwick Hall in Burford—a lovely space, very suited to the work I exhibited. This proved enjoyable and worthwhile.

My latest venture took place in November at the Fosseway Garden Centre in Moreton-in-Marsh where they have a lovely, light and spacious room that we used for a day workshop on 'Trees in the Winter Landscape'. Again it was wonderful to meet new people and to welcome back special friends who have supported me. The work produced was original and varied. Thank you so much everyone for the amazing feedback. I look forward to planning more workshops there for 2024.

Throughout the year there have been regular weekly art classes at my home where I work with a lovely group of people and we cover a variety of subjects both indoors and out in the landscape. In the New Year I will be continuing with weekly classes and welcoming new inquiries. I will also be planning new workshops. Please visit the events page on my website for updates.

All that remains is for me to wish you a peaceful Christmas and a joyful New Year.
