My parents staying at the moment which always means catching up on some exhibitions. The first one we went to was The Celts - Art and Identity at the British Museum. I probably wouldn't have gone to this off my own back but I'm glad I...
We also went to quite a lot of the pavilions not in the main venues and various collateral exhibitions. Here are a few of my favourite [caption id="attachment_4735" align="alignnone" width="800"] Graham Fagen for the Scottish Pavilion in Palazzo Fontana. There was a brilliant film at the...
This is the big one, it's like a marathon of art viewing. But full of a tasty lunch of squid and scallops we made it to the end and back! Here are some of my highlights [caption id="attachment_4764" align="alignnone" width="800"] I liked this alot[/caption] [caption id="attachment_4765" align="alignnone" width="800"]...
This was my favourite pavilion, which is why it gets it's own post, along with being some of my favourite work I saw the whole weekend. There was so much work and it really resonated with me. The themes and subject matter felt very current and...

SOFA Chicago is this week. I'm exhibiting 4 works there with Flow Gallery. If you are over there then do pop by. I'd love to be going myself. One year I'll have to go. I've always fancied a trip to Chicago. Full details here I have 4 flower...
I'm really excited to share with you a new mixed media work. It's a combination of gouache, acrylic paint and ink and collage. I had so much fun making it. I love how he has such a wistful look in his eye as it's raining jewels...
