art on the heath…

After a very busy and successful Charity Private View on Wednesday, the Affordable Art Fair in Hampstead, London, is well underway. Held in a huge contemporary marquee on Hampstead Heath this fair is an exciting and popular event with activities for everyone as well as a wide variety of art to browse and buy.

I’m proud to be represented once again by Sheridan Russell Gallery, whose stand, as always, looks stunning. My work hangs alongside contemporary paintings by Jean Noble, Anne McCormack, and sculpture by Patricia Volk, Lucianne Lasalle and others.

The art fair continues until Sunday 19 June. Well worth a visit!

painting with a lens…

Sometimes I work with a camera (see my photo gallery in the menu).
Images from a recent break in mediaeval Lavenham in Suffolk, which is full of half-timbered buildings from the 14th century onwards. I love finding the overlooked or unnoticed view hidden in old places. These are all as found, created ‘in-camera’.

and another…

… after a few ‘failures’ and much gnashing of teeth this week (plus getting chased around the studio two days in a row by a large hornet), this one emerged. Again mixed media on paper, but I haven’t come up with a title yet.
