My long awaited solo exhibition is a showcase of recent artworks and a celebration of my return to creating art full time. The exhibition contains over fifty original abstract artworks. Many of which have been completed in the last twelve months. My style has been described as expressive and organic with intricate elements. I like to engage with the imagination of the viewer, only suggesting the subject or the meaning of the work with accompanying text or title. I am driven to create my artwork to try and communicate my growing concerns about the environment. Sometimes examining everyday occurrences and habits, at other times raising awareness and questioning our collective behaviours.

The majority of the artworks in the exhibition have been created on either paper or abandoned photographs using a variety of media. Most of the artworks are small to medium sized and are suitably framed. There is a collection of mounted, unframed artworks to browse and a number of quality printed greeting cards and postcards available to purchase.

I will be at the gallery throughout the exhibition and will be happy to chat about the artworks etc. I hope to see you there.
