SMALL PAINTINGS, A SECRET WORTH KEEPING

I’m delighted to be taking part again in the Royal West of England Academy (RWA) Secret Postcard Auction, contributing two original postcards painted in acrylic on watercolour paper.

Working on this small scale is a pleasure. Each brushstroke matters, and I really enjoy bringing the colour, light and expressive marks of my larger paintings into postcard-sized work.

The subjects will remain a secret for now - that’s part of the fun! It’s a chance to choose a painting that catches your eye before discovering the artist behind it.

My contributions over the past 2 years have raised £240 and £440 with 46 bidders, and it’s been lovely to see these small originals find new homes whilst supporting the RWA.

I’m looking forward to to discovering which postcards catch your eye this year. If you’re considering starting an art collection, or even adding something small and individual to an existing one, do take a look the Auction.

I’ll share the details here when the bidding opens.

Extremely pleased to be Extended Long Listed for the @jacksons_art_prize with my painting Morning Cuppa. There were 16,280 entries this year submitted from 110 countries. This means I have made it to the top 26% of entries! Fingers crossed for that I now get selected for the Long List.

SOLD

I’m delighted to share that 2 of my abstracts have been sold to a collector through Caversham Picture Framers, The buyer was drawn to my abstract work and selected particular pieces that resonated with him, then invited me to create new paintings inspired by those works - similar in spirit, but entirely original.

it was a rewarding and collaborative process, allowing me to respond intuitively whilst developing fresh compositions, colours, relationships and textures. I’m especially pleased that the collector chose to acquire both finished pieces which now live in their new home.

Opportunities like this - where a collector connects deeply with the work and trusts the creative process are truly meaningful. My sincere thanks to Caversham Picture Framers for facilitating the introduction, and to the collector for his enthusiasm and support.

CURRENTLY EXHIBITING

If you happen to be in Malta do go along to the prestigious Palazzo Ferreria, Republic Street, Valletta where I am currently exhibiting with the Pastel Society of Malta in a group exhibition celebrating the richness and versatility of pastel as a medium. It is a privilege to show work alongside fellow artists in such a historic and culturally vibrant setting.

Valletta’s unique light, architecture, and atmosphere provide a beautiful backdrop for the exhibition, and it is always inspiring to see how differently artists interpret the medium of pastel - from delicate, subtle passages to bold, expressive colour.

If you are in Malta the exhibition runs until 19th February and visitors are warmly welcome. My thanks to the Pastel Society of Malta for the opportunity to be part of this exhibition and for their continued support of pastel painting.

SOLD

How wonderful to hear that 2 of my oil paintings have just SOLD at the Russell Gallery, London. It was a real pleasure to exhibit this work with the gallery, and I’m incredibly grateful to the collectors who chose to give my paintings new homes. They have gone abroad as wedding gifts!

seeing my work connect with people in this way is always deeply rewarding, particularly oil paintings, which involve a long and thoughtful process of building colour, extrude and atmosphere over time.

Moments like this are both encouraging and motivating, and I look forward to continuing to develop new pieces for future exhibitions.

My sincere thanks to the Russell Gallery for their continued support, and to everyone who took time to visit the exhibition.

SOLD

I’m absolutely delighted to share that my painting “Nightlife” which I exhibited with the Pastel Society Annual Exhibition at the Mall Galleries, London has SOLD.

Moments like this are a real highlight in my artistic journey, and I look forward to sharing new work soon.

Exhibiting internationally is always meaningful, As a member of the Pastel Society of Malta, this is also my first time exhibiting in their annual exhibition which makes this occasion especially meaningful.
