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…

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,…
