Oil paint making workshop

What a rewarding day at University Centre Somerset delivering an oil paint making workshop, giving an artist talk & sharing my work with such great BA Fine Art Degree students.

So engaging & welcoming. Discussing the materiality of paint, the passion for colour & the importance of drawing.

Secret Art Prize 2016

Thank you so much for all your votes and to The Curious Duke Gallery. Unfortunately my painting ‘Grey Rock’ did not make the short list this time. Reaching the long list was very rewarding especially given the high calibre of the competition. It generated an incredible amount of activity on social media which was fun and great for my profile.
