I am delighted to share the news that I was commissioned by Royal Albert Memorial Museum and Art Gallery (RAMM), Exeter earlier this year to create new artwork in response to their collections or displays.

I chose to paint portraits of four women artists whose work is in the RAMM’s art collection: two Exeter-based contemporary artists, Michelle Sank and Amy Shelton and two artists with links to the south-west, Barbara Hepworth (1903-1975) and Gillian Ayres (1930-2018). The exhibition is called ‘Points in a Constellation’ and shines a light on women artists within RAMM’s collection and allowed the artist to make connections and meet with two local artists. There will be an event in March 2024 to coincide with the exhibition and tie-in with International Women’s Day, more details to follow nearer to the date.

I’m delighted to be a part of Group Show at Aspex Portsmouth. The exhibition features the work of five artists who respond to human relationships, connections and group dynamics. Open from 20 April – 02 July 2023.

I’m delighted to have two paintings included in ‘Tipping Point’ a group exhibition of CAMP members work at Studio Kind, Braunton. The opening is 5.30-7.30, Friday 6th January, 2023.

Pleased to have this painting included in Frontpage/Backpage/Centrefold – a publication featuring artwork from 25 artists from Cornwall and Devon. It is published by Flock South West and CAMP, with support from Visual Arts Plymouth CIC to coincide with British Art Show 9 in Plymouth, 2022. Available from venues across Plymouth: Karst, The Box and Mirror Gallery.

I am delighted that my painting The Dream will be included in Beep Painting Biennial 2022 at Elysium Gallery, Swansea. The preview is 7pm, 29 July and the exhibition continues until 10 September.

Excited about my upcoming solo show at The Plough Arts Centre, Torrington in April. Showcasing new oil paintings created specifically for the exhibition ‘Don’t Look Now’ which emphasises the role of the ‘muse’ by making them visible and giving them centre stage. Depicting the muse alongside the artist I want to ask questions about who is the subject. The gallery is open 10am-4pm Tues/Sat. More information here

Getting ready for my solo show ‘Don’t Look Now’ at The Plough Arts Centre, Great Torrington, which opens 02 April 2022.
