Autumn 2025 News
Autumn is upon us here in the UK and I thought it would be a good time to write a blog post. My exhibition in June was a great success. I was happy to meet so many different people at The Grange Gallery, Rottingdean visiting from near and far. One lady was from Wyoming and I’m hoping she got her painting back without incident. I had great conversations and some very affirming comments about my work, so thank you to everyone who came along, visited, and supported me.
After a brief break following my exhibition during the summer, I have been back at the easel again in recent months. Interestingly, my work seems to be leaning more to abstraction at the moment, which I am enjoying greatly. My paintings continue to be particularly inspired by memories, experiences and sounds/music.
Although you are free to contact me about paintings via this website, I have decided to sell through Saatchi Art. You can find me on that platform by clicking here. One of the first paintings I placed on Saatchi Art is How The North Star Wearies, which I have reproduced below. Thanks for reading and please contact me by clicking here, if you have an inquiry.

Doubt the Stars
My solo exhibition opens at The Grange Gallery, Rottingdean on 4 June.
My solo exhibition at The Grange Gallery in Rottingdean is a little over five weeks away, opening on Wednesday 4 June. Rottingdean is a beautiful village only a short drive from Brighton, where the South Downs meet the sea. I will be exhibiting many new landscape paintings that I have been working on over the last 18 months.
The exhibition title, Doubt the Stars, is a reference to a line in Shakespeare’s famous play, Hamlet:
Doubt thou the stars are fire,
Doubt that the sun doth move,
Doubt truth to be a liar;
But never doubt I love.
The theme of the exhibition is that even though we have much doubt in today’s world, there are some things that we can depend on. Be it a sunrise, the landscape or the cycle of nature.
I will be in the gallery most days, so why not come along and say hello?!
