Dumfries House print residency
29th July - 8th August 2024, Dumfries House, Scotland.
I'm immensely grateful to the Royal Drawing School and The King's Foundation for supporting my artist's residency. A fabulous print residency opportunity; with precious time in the print room, an opportunity to draw en plein air on a stunning estate of 2,000 acres and time to draw digitally as Artist in Residence in the 18th-century house.
Please see my Dumfries House blog and my Instagram posts about this amazing experience.

I'm also delighted to share that my limited edition linocut 'Sky over Skye' has been selected for the WCPF24 Curated Hang at the Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair to be held in London later in the year. The show is the leading international art fair for contemporary print and provides an opportunity to show my work alongside talented printmakers.
I'm thrilled to be selected and very grateful to the selection panel for choosing my work.
It's a super show and it would be great to see you there in November. Tickets are available on the Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair website.
Please get in touch if you would like to reserve a copy of the edition and do let me know if you intend to visit the show.
Artists announced!
Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair 2024
With all the progress I'm making in getting my work as an emerging artist on the wall in various ways, I wanted to say thanks for your support and for keeping your fingers crossed this year.
'Sky over Skye' didn't progress from the long list in the Jackson's art prize and 'Backwards through a hedge' whilst shortlisted wasn't hung at the Royal Academy. Maybe next time for both of these prestigious competitions.
Nevertheless all these fingers-crossed moments have been exciting acknowledgements and have helped encourage me to keep momentum. I completely enjoyed delivering my work to to the Royal Academy and making a day of it in London with friends.
Thanks everyone for cheering me along the way!
Thanks for keeping your
fingers crossed
