Contact - Lockdown exhibition at Princess Theatre, Burnham on Sea
Exhibition to Open in June 2021
In response to Burnham on Sea's Princess Theatres Lockdown exhibition call, Naomi Wilson of Holistic Essence and I decided to work together to produce a piece that represented our contrasting experiences through lockdown and the essential need for human contact.
I am used to working in isolation. In contrast it is vital to Naomi Wilson, a holistic therapist, to put her hands on another human and was unable to practice her therapies throughout lockdown. Naomi recently wrote "Touch" and how, during this time of social distancing, our five senses have been heightened and was a key theme in our work alongside our contrasting experiences. We have created a video which allows you to see more detail in our piece with the backdrop of word presented in audio.
Our piece, which is circa 50cm x 70cm, combines monoprinting, drawing, Zoom doodles and collage.
Initially the work will be presented digitally but will eventually translate to a physical exhibition in the gallery.

The Absent Gallery virtual interactive exhibition 'Lockdown'
Delighted to have work accepted for this exciting exhibition.
The Absent Gallery invited submissions from artists, predominantly based in Somerset, to take part in our premier Open Exhibition. The theme of this exhibition is as the title suggests, LOCKDOWN, following the outbreak of Coronavirus.
Entries were to reflect and interpret this theme in a multitude of ways. Whether it is how the artist’s response to lockdown has influenced or inspired their working practice, or simply work that the artist started or completed over lockdown. Artists were also invited to consider work that reflects upon opportunities lost or gained and asked the question, what comes next now that lockdown is relaxed?
Over 100 pieces of artwork were selected from 25 artists and professionally curated for this virtual interactive exhibition.

BRITISH WILDLIFE OPEN
Work selected for BRITISH WILDLIFE OPEN
Delighted to have this linocut selected for BRITISH WILDLIFE OPEN exhibition held at ACE Arts in Somerton in partnership with Somerset Wildlife Trust. Exhibition runs until Nov 3rd
Over several months I observed, sketched and photographed this gnarled pollard willow stump which is in a rhyne on the levels near us. A route marker for egret, buzzard, kestrel and heron who I saw perched on or beside the tree. I was drawn to the cracks in the bark; the man made saw cuts and cross sections of wood; the shapes of the fungi and the random grasses that grew from cracks. The patterns of the buzzard’s feathers had similarities with that of the bark so that the buzzard extends from the tree in contrast to the smoother white egret standing in the foreground.

Time and Tide Bell ~ 200Fish
A Continuing Arts Programme facing Lincolnshire's Coast
#200Fish is a community project to create works of art based on each of the species of fish found in the North Sea. The objective is to raise awareness of the biodiversity of the North Sea.
There are about 200 species of fish native to the North Sea. This project is to record their existence through works of art. Mindful of the threats to the marine environment, global warming, ocean acidification, pollution, over-fishing and so on, we are inviting a large number of artists each to pick one of the fish species and produce a painting or other art-work therefrom.
My fish is Fish #148 Black Seabream Spondyliosoma cantharu.
My images and some narrative to explain why I selected this fish can be found here
The first art exhibition at the new North Sea Observatory, on the Lincolnshire coast at Chapel Point, opens on Thursday 23rd August, staged by Lincolnshire Time and Tide Bell Community Interest Company and Blue Fish is included in the exhibition

Fifty Bees
I am delighted to be invited to contribute to this project.
I was delighted to be invited to contribute to the Fifty Bees exhibition.
Lydia Needle has created fifty beautiful lifelike species of bees in felt, displayed in delightful compact boxes. These bees are the basis of this year’s FIFTYBEES exhibition. Shown alongside them at RJ Museum Swindon will be the 50 other companion artworks created by 50 other artists (and I am one of them). The preview evening is 1st June from 7-9 and then the exhibition is open most days until 24th June.
My bee was Geoffroy's Blood Bee. My bee likes open habitats and among the various plants it visits are umbellifers which I love to use in my printmaking. I therefore wanted to create an image that incorporated the umbellifers and I was drawn to the tangle of shapes that I found at the edge of fields and beside hedgerows on my walks.
The exhibition has also been on display at For Every Cloud in Langport until 1st Sept

The gallery is open Monday – Friday from 9am – 4pm. It’s not huge, in fact it’s tiny so don’t come expecting to spend long but If you’re interested in the burgeoning local art scene here in our part of the South West then pop by as one thing the Sugar Cube always offers is art that’s well worth the visit!'
