Blimey lots going on!
March 6-10 2024. Celebrating an immense year and a thrilling week, exhibiting in Kensington, London at the Royal Drawing School's Online Drawing Development Year end of year show.
DRAWING BEYOND by DRAWING STUDIO 23
It was an amazing experience and a huge privilege to show my work alongside a talented group of fellow ODDY23 artists.
Thanks to friends and family, expected and unexpected guests who came to the show and were there to support me at the private view. It was a memorable evening and it was fantastic to have the opportunity to exhibit work undertaken over the last year in such a spectacular gallery space.

Nominations for two events!
wc 25 March 2024. I'm also delighted to share that in the space of a week, two of my limited edition linocuts were nominated in prestigious open calls:
'Backwards through a hedge - Spring edition' has been shortlisted for the Royal Academy's Summer Exhibition in London.
'Sky over Skye' has been longlisted for the Jackson's Art prize.
They go forward to the next selection stages. So please keep your fingers crossed for me!

April 2024. Really delighted that my cutaway drawing 'Great Dixter Inside and Out' has been published in the 2024 Great Dixter Journal.
The original A1 Conté pastel pencil drawing was made in the topologies class on the Online Drawing and Development course (ODDY23) at the Royal Drawing School in my first few weeks as a volunteer Garden Steward.
It's super-special being part of the volunteering team at this magical place and truly wonderful to have a drawing included in this historical document.
