Current and recent Projects
I have just finished my MA Fine Art on the full time studio based course at Manchester Metropolitan University and the exhibition is opening on Friday 3rd October 2008 at 6pm for one week.
Arena Artists group show at Nexus Arts Cafe, Northern Quarter, Manchester
I I co-ordinated this exhibition of work from our studio group at Nexus, a new art space in central Manchester during August 2007.
You are Here: group show at The Kitchen Gallery. 27 April - 3rd June 2007
The Kitchen Gallery is situated in the Walled Garden of Norton Priory Museum & Gardens, Tudor Road, Manor Park, Runcorn, Cheshire, WA7 1SX.
I exhibited three new paintings of the 'Places we Love' series in this group show, alongside two paintings from the 'Unearthed' series. All the artists involved gave a talk about their work.
Knowsley Council's Arts & Museum service invited me to exhibit a solo show of my work. Showing 26th February 2007 until 13th May 2007 at Kirkby Gallery, Kirkby Library, Newtown Gardens, Kirkby, Merseyside.
The exhibition included several new paintings based on landscape and seascape, the Dreaming of Wildflowers series of oils and the painting Deep Forest which followed, alongside a series of recent work in fresco.
In showing the frescos alongside works in oils, the exhibition allows for an understanding of the transition I have made between materials - from oil on canvas to fresco painting and back to oil again - how the processes differ and marks translate.
LOOP Overview at Cornerstone Gallery
My work was included a group show showing artists who have been involved in Loop Gallery shows in the past. This show opens mid february for one month at Cornerstone Gallery, Liverpool Hope at Everton.
