Lines Of Work - Creative Connections 2014 at the Cooper Gallery, Barnsley from Sat 11th January until 1st March I am delighted to be part of this exciting and diverse show.  The artists and crafts people who form the networking group Pennine Artists have got together and produced work for this exhibition.

Showing in Rotherham at Old Market Gallery, Corporation Street I am very pleased to announce I have been asked to show some of my artwork in the next Alluvium show.  Alluvium are a group of six artists based in Rotherham who show together and with other artists.

After much procrastination I have organised an exhibition based on my experiences on the Chengdu Sheffield Artist Exhchange, which I was involved in last year.  It is on until the end of September (2013).   It includes black and white photos, photo composites and an installation of beckoning cats.

NOW SHOWING IN ROTHERHAM @ ROAR, WESTGATE STUDIOS Venue If you are in Rotherham Town Centre, go and have a look at my exhibition.  It largely consists of unframed limited edition prints, selling for a mere £30, take one away and choose your own frame.  The show is at the Buzz Gallery, so called because you have to buzz the intercom to get in. Full address; ROAR Art Space, 2nd Floor Westgate Chambers, Westgate, Rotherham, S60 1AN http://www.rotherhamroar.com/ Influences My work is influenced by landscape and nature and places I love.  The works are moody and have lots of texture and various colour schemes.  As you can see from the images above the seashore often features in my artwork because I spend my holidays on the South West coast of the Republic of Ireland. Although I have been visiting the area around Waterville, on the Ring of Kerry, for alot of years I am constantly inspired by the changing light and atmosphere of the coastal l...

Dear All, Well it's been a while since I was in touch with my news, that's because I've been here and back again over the last few months.   Hope you've all managed to stay happy despite the wet, wet Summer.  What a disaster for the veggie patch, but as Monty Don (Gardener's World) pointed out it has only been a bad summer for gardeners not gardens, as some plants and veg have thrived! I have been over to County Kerry, Southern Ireland a couple of times - one of my favorite places especially for inspiring views and lovely light.  In September I was part of an Artfest in Ballinskelligs, more about in my next newsletter. But what about Chengdu, Western China... Going to Chengdu, China - as one of only two artists from the Sheffield region was so exciting, inspiring and an all round amazing experience.  I've never been to a place so hot and humid, and typical of an English person, the weather was the predominant element that influenced my artwork ...

3rd July 2012 Dear All, Had a fabulous time salmon fishing in May.  The River Thurso was as beautiful as ever and we saw lots of wonderful wildlife including Red deer, a Marsh Harrier, and Wheatears.  Two delightful grey wagtails were making love in the Spring sunshine opposite where I was fishing. Yes, after the hailstorms and snow showers, in mid May if you please, we did get a couple of sunny days (not so good for fishing). *Breaking news* Exciting news received this week!  I am going to Chengdu, China - as one of only two artists from the Sheffield region invited to visit and work there through CreativeSheffield.  They are twinned with Chengdo. Two pieces of work will be exhibited at the Painting Exhibition scheduled from 11-14 September at the Pride International Conference Center along with 2012 China International Friendship Cities Conference (CIFCC).  They will then be on show at the International Museum at Tianfu Squar...
