I'm very excited to announce that a preview of my upcoming exhibition at Fowey River Gallery has just gone online! If you would like to buy a painting before the exhibition officially opens at the end of June, you can do so by calling the gallery on 01726 833 828.

And, if you'd like to come along to the private view on Saturday 28th June, I'll be at the gallery from 6-8pm. RSVP to [email protected].

So that's another show done! As per usual, I'm having a bit of time off to recharge my batteries and then its on with illustrating the book of my walk of the South West Coast Path. I'm going to include watercolours, sketches and full paintings in the illustrations and have given myself 6 months to complete it all. If anyone knows of a likely publisher then do let me know!

The Fowey River Gallery show will consist of 42 paintings (one of the largest shows I have ever painted) and the Private View is on the 28th June. Here are three more images to whet your appetite.

I'm very excited about this show, which opens online at 8am this Saturday (22nd). So, I couldn't resist giving you this sneak preview!

I'm really firing on all cylinders at the moment - it feels fantastic to be so inspired and I am making the most of it by painting as much as possible! This month I have been mostly painting cars, which is a subject I'm always returning to. I love the shapes and curves of the old cars (new cars just don't have  quite the  same attraction)! I must say I do love driving and I am sure this is another reason that I paint cars; they represent freedom and exploration.

I'm also still working on the Fowey River Gallery show and have started a small series for The Mulberry Tree Gallery which will be part of a larger mixed show in the summer.

On top of all this I'm planning on doing a small painting show on my website for the first part of April. This will consist of 30 small, framed paintings and instead of putting one on a day the whole 30 will go online at the same time. I'll be sending out more information nearer the time, so watch this space..

So here we are in January once again and the start of a new working year. I am currently working on a one man show for the Fowey River Gallery this summer. The weather has been so utterly awful that I'm happy as Larry to be holed up in my cosy studio painting images of the summer!

Once the show is done I have a few more commitments and then finally I'm going to crack on with illustrating my book.

I am also hoping to do an little online painting exhibition of 30 paintings at some point between now and the summer so watch this space...

Here are a few sneaky peaks at some of the paintings in the show. As ever, if you are interested in a catalogue let me know and I will make sure one gets to you when the time comes.

My exhibition at The Richard Hagen Gallery is starting on Saturday 15th June. As per usual I will be in attendance, along with a selection of my sisters and my husband! It is such a lovely gallery, I always look forward to the private view and a chance to mooch around the beautiful village of Broadway.

The show is a little smaller than I had hoped, but I'm thrilled with the  paintings and hope for a good response.

There is a catalogue available - if you'd like one please feel free to email me at [email protected] and I'll pop one in the post.

In the meantime I am cracking on with a backlog of commissions and then I'm planning to paint for my website, so watch this space...

I've returned from my epic seven week walk along the South West Coast Path... and now the hard work begins!

It was one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had, and my plan now is to write an illustrated book of the whole walk. I've started on the manuscript - it's odd writing instead of painting, but I am really enjoying it. I want this book to be a labour of love and so I'm going to take my time and do it right. If I can't find a publisher I may self-publish, but I'll look into that nearer the time...

Next month I'm going to start work on a show inspired by the walk, which will be held in Broadway next summer. So, all in all it's a very busy time!

I've mentioned my upcoming show at The Mulberry Tree Gallery in Swanage a few times here in the last couple of months... well the private view is just around the corner now (Saturday 21st July from 12pm), and I thought I'd share the details here for anyone who'd like to visit the exhibition or find out more about it.
