Inspired by the moors

I wanted to share with you my latest painting for my North York Moors project and my process creating it as it has been quite a tussle at times as I tried incorporating some new techniques into my work.

This painting will be heading off to the This Diverse Landscape exhibition at the Inspired by... gallery in the North York Moors National Park.

First exhibition of 2024

Following my successful exhibition with Studio Vault in 2022 I will be returning later this month with a new collection, just in time for when Emily moves into her larger gallery space.

To celebrate the launch of this collection I have had a limited edition of Tumultuous (pictured) printed which will be available from the start of the exhibition.

Goodbye 2023... hello 2024!

2023 was my first full year being a full time professional artist. Running my newly formed limited company all by myself without a salary to fall back on. So what was it really like? What have I learned from the past 12 months and what will I be doing different in 2024?

North York Moors - above Danby

My first site visit for my North York Moors National Park (NYMNP) project took place this month where I walked a circular route around and above Danby to get some inspiration for an exhibition in May 2024.

Boundaries: a project with the North York Moors National Park

It was in September 2022 when I first approached the North York Moors National Park about a potential project which would enable me to learn more about their conservation work, and understand how people live and work in this part of the world.
