Artist information

I’m a largely self-taught artist who has learned from friends and colleagues and many hours of trial and error. After studies in Literature and Social Anthropology and work in teaching, mental health and therapy, I have concentrated on painting in retirement. I think I’m getting better at it but you can judge.

Exhibition information

I will be open from 11am to 6pm daily between Saturday June 3rd and Sunday June 11th. Please call in to my studio attached to the house in Plantation Rd. Delighted to talk about painting and politics and gardens with anyone who comes! That’s half the fun of Artweeks – meeting people and getting different perspectives. There may be a pot of tea or coffee on the go….

You will see that I paint lots of different things which appeal to me so there is quite a mixture. I’ve tried, without much success, to marry my painting to the issues that matter to me – justice, inclusion, migration and a multiplicity of perspectives. I still haven’t found a way of doing this which isn’t proselytising or ‘holier than thou’ so, for the moment I must accept that I just paint what I see with feeling.
