 News and Information

The next opportunity to see my work in a public setting will be in November 2010 when I will be having an exhibition at Bridge House Gallery in Wray.  It will run from November 19th until towards the end of January 2011.

I had work in the Facing North Exhibition was at the Clitheroe Castle Museum at Clitheroe in the Ribble Valley.  This work was sold.  Another Facing North exhibition is being planned for next year with the Museum Service of Lancashire, which will include more of my work.  More details from David Davies at Maiden Bridge Arts Centre Tel 015242 61463.

The Facing North Project started some five years ago to celebrate the variety and diversity of artists living and working in the North of England.  The concept was to ask 50 artists to submit an example of their work and to more unusually ask each artist to produce a self portrait in any media or form of their choosing.  The Facing North exhibition illustrates a selection of the talent and diversity of these northern artists, showcasing their work and how they see themselves.

The Lunesdale Studio Trail took place in July last year for the 11th time, and was deemed to be a success, with lots of new people coming up the Valley to have a look.  At my studio I welcomed a some 125 people over the three weekends. The next Trail will take place on 29 May 2010 (Bank Holiday weekend) and the following two weekends.  I will NOT be opening my studio this year for this event as I am away travelling in Northern Europe.

There was an exhibition in May 2009, with other Trail members, at

Pendle Heritage Centre, Park Hill
