I am thrilled to have two of my paintings in the Body of Water Exhibition at Sunny Bank Mills in Leeds. Together with my audio visual installation all about the Yorkshire fishing industry, Of The Sea.

Sadly due to the Covid19 pandemic the exhibition can only be viewed online at present. However the gallery will open its doors if circumstances change, and the exhibition has been curated and is ready to be seen.

You can view all of the artist's wonderful water inspired work, see my documentary story of our fishing industry, and purchase the art direct from the gallery by clicking on the link below.

I attended an amazing preview at Zillah Bell Gallery last Friday for the gallery’s winter exhibition. I have to say that the curation is wonderful, and personally I feel that it is the best exhibition I have seen so far at this super contemporary gallery in North Yorkshire. I am chuffed to bits to have these four paintings included in the show.

I was thrilled to have my audio visual installation 'Of The Sea' shown on the big screen this weekend, at the Spotlight Theatre in Bridlington, before all of their performances.

If you would like to see this evocative installation it will be on display, together with my paintings inspired by the Yorkshire fishing industry, at Gallery Forty-Nine in Bridlington Old Town until the 25th of January 2020.

Here are some of the images which form a part of my story of our local fishing heritage.

of the sea

Due to circumstances beyond my control I have decided not to continue as artist in residence at Spurn Point. 

My project to capture our fishing industry has had to move further up the coast, and it now feels to tenuous to link it to the work of the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust.

However with the help and support of some really kind people working in the Yorkshire fishing community, my project Of The Sea continues. 

Of The Sea will comprise of a body of vibrant mixed media paintings inspired by my experience of being at sea. Together with an audio visual record of local fishermen at work, our marine life, and disappearing fishing techniques.

Both my paintings and installation will be exhibited in Gallery Forty-Nine in Bridlington Old Town from the 9th of November.

Here is a little taste of things to come...
