Happy Christmas everyone! Here’s a few snaps from last week when it was chilly but so pretty.

Thanks to for showing some of my paintings this festive season.
Check out how relaxed and happy the seal looks basking amongst it all!

More photos from the . Grateful to have been invited to take part in this well established show.
My Grandad came from nearby Wheathampstead and we used to visit this area a lot growing up. He loved to show us the places he visited and he had a real connection to the area. I know he would have been very proud that I was taking part in this exhibition. It’s also prompted me to make visits to the area, which I hadn’t done for years. And so it’s been really fun showing my own children the places he showed us.

Getting ready for the Ayot St Lawrence Art Show being held at the beautiful Palladian Church, Sat 18th- 20th June.

Art on the Hill is nearly here! I’ll be showing some work at this pop up exhibition in Brill 26-27th March. It’s great that’s it’s back after 3 years away.
