  • A New Start and New Art!


  • Art? As an investment?

    There is always a lot of excitement generated in the fine art market and 2022 was no different with an auction of the painting, Shot Sage Blue Marylin by Andy Warhol, selling for a record breaking $195 million Now of course I don’t for one moment put my art at the level of the blue…


  • This too, shall pass…

    It seems such a horrid time at present. I could complain about the weather being cold and damp but then there is so much more to be concerned about and so much empathy that needs directing elsewhere. You would think, by now, that we would have learnt the futility of waging war. The destruction, the…


  • Just for Today…

    Just for Today…

    Just for today I will put up a picture of myself. It’s for Sky Arts Portrait artist of the year 2022. It’s not something I would normally do but then as I grow in recovery and in my art I’m finding myself pushing out of my comfort zone again and again. Just for today I…


  • All paths lead to the One true light

    So it’s coming up to that time of year once again; Christmas, the holiday season,the festive season. It doesn’t really matter. The truth of belief in whatever will always lead to the One true light. It can be sad that sometimes this is the only time of year that any thought is given to something…


  • Autumn’s Palette

    Autumn, a time of retreat, of change, of decay yet such a beautiful season. The wind, rain and storms approach with a ferocity that only nature can conjure and the days begin to darken, as night stealthily creeps closer; there is still so much colour and beauty. Meandering through the local woodland, watching the squirrels…


  • Keep it Simple

    That’s one of the sayings I remember hearing when I first came into recovery. Keep it simple. Sounds easy enough doesn’t it? However, life is never really simple, especially with two young children and because I tend, as I guess we all do, to try to complicate it. I’m trying to keep my approach to…


  • Yesterday’s Dream

    That is the title of the last piece of work I painted purely for myself, which sold within days. The reason being? I am completely snowed under with commissions. Over the last couple of months they seem to have come in pretty much one after another. My personal Yesterday’s Dream, one I’ve had as a…


  • Gratitude

    My latest work, in oils this time, is on the theme of gratitude. A woman simply grateful to be sat in the warm sun. It’s an easy word to say but not always so easy to actually feel! I have much to be grateful for in my life both as an artist and as a…


  • To Be Free Again

    I decided to name one of my latest works, ‘To Be Free Again’, to celebrate and look forward to the end of lockdowns and restrictions and to explore a place of peace and serenity within my work. Yet we now find, with this new Delta variant, that this may be far from the case. I,…
