Practice run Caister

is my submission, it measures 8in sq in the frame and was created this Summer after visits to the Sunday lifeboat practices. The boat then launches itself up on to the beach and the seacraft trailer hoists it up to return to the boathouse.

Twelve artists from the CaperAc group in Norfolk respond to the call to produce artwork inspired by the theme ‘the light fantastic’

6 abstract paintings

Over 170 paintings, sculpture and prints submitted for the open exhibition at

Following a summer trip to a region in the South of France, I have been inspired to produce a new series of semi-abstract townscapes. Here is a sneek peek of ‘what is finished in the drying room’. The frames arrive tomorrow and then they are heading into a submission process. All will be revealed in due course. Certainly exciting times! More are in progress and in their final stages. So watch this space….and if you want to know more current information about me and where I have been exhibiting, I have added a new CV and Exhibition page.

This town had the equivelent of our open studios in the UK, although in the form of several crafts people sharing a shop space for a few weeks. It is one of the local Mayor’s initiatives to give opportunities for artisans and encourage tourism.

The Anteros summer open show continues until Saturday 27th September 2014. Here are a few preview pics of the ground floor. There is also a first floor section of the show and a few in the entrance hall. Caister Inspiration is my submission and the predominantly red abstract one, bottom right in picture 01.

Summer holidays and artist days out inspire big work. La Papeterie exhibits new work from Henri Cueco, an artist from the local Courreze region, 21st June – 21st September 2014. The re-developed paper producing plant demonstrates the massive drums and unlimited length of work that can be manifested. The location of the new art installation is South of Limoges, France, in a pretty village called Uzerche. In the meantime, my new larger canvases are in progress and I will update the blog when they are ready.

I am happy to announce inclusion in a local Norwich group show for the Summer Open Exhibition from 29 August – 21 September. Anteros Arts Foundation 7-15 Fye Bridge Street, Norwich NR3 1LJ. Enjoy a cuppa at the King of Hearts cafe next door if you get a chance.

Christine Pike, one of the creative team involved in organising the event, said:

We were overwhelmed with the response this year as we had nearly 100 artists apply and the standard was incredibly high. It meant we had a very tough job choosing which pieces to select, but I think we have achieved a good balance of style and media. We have tried to select across the board to suit all pockets from pieces which cost under £100 to some which cost several thousand pounds.

All the work is for sale and profits go towards supporting the work of the Anteros Arts Foundation, which is a registered charity dedicated to promoting the arts across Norwich and Norfolk.
