I thought I'd say hello as a few new people have followed me recently. I'm a Swindon based artist.

Vibrant colour and sketchy impressionist detail is a good description of my art. I paint architecture and gardens on location at events. I'm very happy for people to watch. I also paint in my studio when the weather is rubbish - given the choice I'd be outside!

I also work for a NHS funded wellbeing project, a lot of my art is probably influenced by this side of my life. You can DM me about crafty coffee mornings if you want to come and get involved in something.

I'm creating a garden to draw, with colourful plants and varied textures. I have a shady garden so my ferns and hostas look the healthiest!

My next painting on location event is Sunday 21st June at Mount House in Cricklade. Tickets are available from various shops in Cricklade raising money for St Mary's church.

This Saturday morning you can come and draw trees in Old Town's Town Gardens, meeting near the cafe. Bring your own mat...

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.
