Sometimes I catch a sliver of quiet and slip back into painting, and it was a joy returning to this piece after a couple of months away.

I’m really happy to play a very small part in Holmfirth Art Week this year. It’s such a brilliant event and the fact it’s been running for over 60 years and raised over 1 million for local charities makes it even more special.

A huge thank you to all the volunteers who pour so much time, energy and positivity into making it happen.

I’ve got two of my largest works ever included in the exhibition upstairs at the Civic, plus a few of small pieces in the Marketplace.

Feeling grateful, excited, and really looking forward to the week ahead.

This exhibition began with a single moment: standing in a car park at dusk, realising how much beauty sits in the places we barely notice.

Scruffy start

I’ve been accepted into the 2026 SWA exhibition at the Mall Galleries. I’ll be mentioning this repeatedly, obsessively, and with absolutely no self‑control. I apologise in advance for the person I’m about to become 😀

Shoes fascinate me they’re worn diaries of people and places.
Painting them lets me capture those traces of life and turn everyday objects into quiet stories.

Loving the early stage of this painting — that back‑and‑forth of adding and wiping away thin oil paint until something starts to take shape. And this one’s the biggest canvas I’ve tackled in… honestly, decades. Too many to admit. Feeling good to stretch out again.

Keep swiping to see how big it is 😊
