Busy morning catching up with recent orders for customers near and far. All the way to Australia or just down the road to Handbridge and Tarporley, we love hearing where they are going & why you’ve connected with a particular painting. Drop in & browse or make an appointment, we would love to show you the current collection

A lot can change in a month…seasons, crazy weather, unexpected family events. We were incredibly lucky to explore the Norwegian fjords recently and some days experienced all four seasons in one morning. As always I made an illustrated diary of our trip, which is currently on display on our studio gallery along with a few new paintings. We are not currently open every day but it’s been lovely to meet new and regular customers when we are, so big thanks to all recent collectors! As always you are welcome to visit if you see our ‘open’ sign on The Rows but if coming to Chester to see us, please let us know - we don’t want to miss you!

One of my personal favourites, happy memories of all those childhood car drives over the Dolomites to Venice, and many more Italian trips since. It’s one of those paintings that I will never sell but we love these superb canvas editions, beautifully presented by our bespoke framers. It’s always brilliant when customers share their connections to a place and I was delighted this went to a new happy home.

We have been busy in our gallery in the heart of Chester meeting new customers and greeting regular collectors. Pop up to The Rows this bank holiday weekend and see what’s new. We are back from our latest travels with sketchbooks full of inspiring ideas for new paintings. Browse the current collection including paintings from Chester to Tokyo. Plus of course all my regular painting destinations around North Wales and Europe (especially Italy). Lots to see and explore this week in our beautiful city including the Chester Heritage Festival.

A super Easter Monday with new & returning customers in the gallery, seal-spotting with ice cream from Snugburys on the river, followed by a sunny visit to the Architect. Summer is on it’s way ☀️

Who parked that train there?! Almost finished my sketch when the London train arrived and blocked my view. (Story of my life 🤣) Super morning with our urban sketchers. Looking forward to more sunny days and sketches soon. We have been travelling by train a lot recently including the bullet train Tokyo to Kyoto and much more … watch this space for more travel sketches & paintings
