Summer update - June 2025

In March, I had the pleasure of showing my paintings at the The Vanner Gallery in Salisbury as part of the group exhibition [UNFOLD]. It was a beautifully curated group show, and it is always a pinch me moment when the work goes up and you see it with new eyes in a shared space. I also took part in an artist talk in the gallery space, which was a first for me and a real privilege.

May brought the usual whirlwind of tea and conversation during Artists Open Houses, with work shown across four venues in Brighton, Hove, and Ditchling. I met so many wonderful visitors and fellow artists - thank you to all who came.

The start of June has brought a change in pace and a chance to show, sit and work in the beautiful gardens at Ashdown Pottery as part of South East Open Studios.

Later this month, I am excited to be part of 100/50 at Unit 1 Gallery | Workshop in London. This brilliant show celebrates artists over 50 who continue to push forward in their practice. The exhibition opens on 20th June and runs until 20th July.

On the same weekend Gallery at Home in Abergavenny open their Summer Exhibition (21st June – 1st August), and I’m delighted to be showing a new diptych as part of the group show.

Finally,  STONE 25 opens at the Falconhurst Estate in Kent (29th June – 26th July). I’ve installed both indoor and outdoor work, and it really is another pinch me moment to be part of this beautiful and ambitious exhibition.

There are more exciting opportunities in the pipeline for the Autumn including opening my own studio, and gardens for Artwave 2025. More about this soon.
