Starting a New Series of Work
I’m feeling really excited about my art at the moment. And much of that excitement has to do with a new project I’m working on. After finishing my Beach Life series, I was in that frustrating phase of exploring lots of ideas. The exploration is a lot of fun! But I was struggling to settle…

Well that was unexpected!
Back in May, my parents presented me with a torn a page from the Daily Mail asking for entries for a painting competition. I have to say, the Daily Mail isn’t my newspaper of choice so I was a bit sniffy about entering. But then I thought, What the hell? The competition theme was Glorious…
