Come and join me and Nancy at Overtown Manor for afternoon tea and live painting! I'll be painting inspired by nature and Nancy's cakes are lovely. She'll have Overtown apple juice to try, as well as tea and coffee. You can also see my art on display in the manor.

On the 16th May 10am - 1pm I'm running a drawing / painting session in Old Town Gardens. Would any artists or organisations want to be involved? There is no payment for this event, I'm doing it as a trial and would probably charge for future events (donation to the charity). More info on the link below.

Can you let me know by Saturday if interested to help or run your own tree-related art event. My session would be aimed at adults, painting or drawing trees, people will need to bring their own art materials.

I arrive at an Open Garden event, set up my easel, and create colourful art in public where visitors can watch creativity in progress!

Unique to the venue, my art shares the colour, texture and detail. It sparks conversations about the garden, my interpretation and their own creativity.

If you are hosting an Open Gardens day, or other event, you can book me as an 'Artist at Work' to add to your visitors' experience.

I can sketch, paint in oils, and mixed media. Celebrate your venue with colourful artwork!

Featuring Overtown Manor, Avebury National Trust, and Prospect Hospice with thanks.

I've used my sketch of TWIGS Community Gardens to make a night time version... I can't call it winter as all the flowers are there from my summer time sketch!

Happy Christmas to everyone following me, and all the organisations I've been involved with. I hope everyone has a lovely break. Prospect Hospice

In November I visited Swindon Repair Café & Free Shop, Eastcott Community Centre, and did a few sketches, I've combined them and added colour. I might tweak it to brighten it but I thought I'd share it to show what I've done so far! Happy Christmas! xx

Postcards of the working cargo cranes, built by Stothert and Pitt in 1951 and now working exhibits outside the M Shed.
..being manouvered by a tiny crane. It had to be done. 😁

I'm thinking about getting some of these little postcard drawings reproduced, what do you think?

I'm interested to hear about possibilities of working as a temporary or occasional 'Artist in Residence'. I draw and paint with people watching. If your organisation would be interested in having an 'Artist at Work' for events, let me know! Check out the link in my bio about my projects with organisations.
