Material and Maker at Gallery 57 - Echo, 2025, African Springstone and charred oak
Looking back, looking forward - an exciting start to 2026
As we settle in to a new year, it feels like a good moment to pause, reflect on the year just passed and share news about what is coming up over the winter months.
In brief…
2025 was a busy year of exhibitions and open studios, beginning with [UNFOLD] at the Vanner Gallery and ending with the Winter Open Houses. This year has already begun with real momentum and I’m delighted to be joining the Vanner Gallery roster and to be part of their opening shows for 2026, as well as returning to Gallery 57 for their first exhibition of the year.
Looking back
2025 was a rich and varied year of exhibitions, open studios and shared spaces. Highlights along the way, have included the wonderful Stone 25 at Falconhurst Estate, as well showing work at Gallery at Home, Tarpey Gallery, Unit 1 Gallery and Workshop and the inaugural Soho Open. It was also a year filled with opportunities to meet and work with some amazing local artists across the Artists Open Houses.
Looking ahead
2026 feels like it has started with a bang. I have delivered paintings and carvings to the Vanner Gallery ready for the start of their 2026 programme which begins this week with the opening of Gallery Artists: Act I and Act II the first of two exhibitions introducing the new roster of artists. Each artist will be showing work across both exhibitions and I’m delighted to be a part of this brilliant group and to be working more closely with the gallery.
Act I: 9 January - 31 January
Act II: 6 February - 7 March
Alongside this, I’m very happy to be returning to Gallery 57 for their first show of the year, Material and Maker, opening on 31 January and running until 14 March. It is always wonderful to show with Ann and this feels like a great opportunity to take stock and try to articulate my relationship with stone and the slow, protracted but endlessly immersive process of carving.
The spring will see the start of the of the first Artists Open Houses of the year - always such a lovely event to be a part of - more to follow on this soon.
