Hello!
A lot is happening this busy month in the run up to Christmas. This weekend, from 9 to 11 November I will be the artist in residence at the
Windsor Contemporary Art Fair that will take place on the grounds of the Windsor Race course. Over three days I will guide the creation of an interactive art project, inviting visitors contribute their marks to an artwork on a large canvas. The theme is
Numbers. The canvas will be covered by numbers and shapes, created by visitors. Once covered with numbers, it will be turned into a colourful painting, using the many marks and shapes as guide for the creation of the final painting. I will be posting updates on the progress on
Instagram
New paintings can be seen in exhibitions across the UK in the coming weeks. The first group exhibition I'm taking part in will open this Saturday at
Gallery Top in Matlock, Derbyshire.
Towards the end of November, my work will be in a show at
Iona House Gallery in Oxford and
D'art Gallery in Dartmouth, Devon. In December paintings will also be exhibited at
Byard Gallery in Cambridge.
Work can be seen at
Red Rag Gallery in Bath and Stow in the Cotswolds, the
Tiny Art Gallery in Henley-on-Thames in Oxfordshire,
Golden Hare Gallery as well as
Wills Art Warehouse in London where you normally can find an assortment of my still life and floral paintings.

We cannot help everyone, but everyone can help someone. In that light, I'd like to thank you for the continuing support received for the causes I support. Over the last month funds were raised to buy much needed mattresses for a
stimulation centre for disabled children in Shoshanguve South Africa. Another organisation I support is
