I’ve spent the last month and a bit focusing on finishing some unfinished works. My ways of working have evolved a lot since I started getting back into art work in 2016. These paintings were begun in 2018, developed in a manner that later warped into my way of working…

For a number of years I’ve been spotting Inktober work being shared across my various social media. I always fancied trying to join in at some point, but year after year I’ve not got myself in a position to do it. This year however, was very different – I started…
Over the year I’ve been following the urge to work using pencils and inks, something I’ve not really done in anger for a long time. It has been a big old learning curve for me, and very labour-intensive. I’ve been training to improve my ability with pencils, along with developing…
The last few months I have been working on some newer digital based pieces, with a loose theme around Welsh religious fervour, hellfire and brimstone. These pieces marked a bit of a departure to the previous work as they have used additional steps to create the final piece. They also…

My four pieces were exhibited at Y Lle Celf earlier this month, three of which sold during the exhibition. I took a trip up to Llanwrst to visit the opening evening event and take-in the work of the other artists at the exhibition. Prior to the exhibition, I was filmed…

It’s been a fertile couple of months for me, working hard to complete a number of images based around the theme of “In Annwn, Everything Is Fine…” You can sing it to the tune of the song sung by the lady in the radiator in David Lynch’s Eraserhead if you…
These are my first two pieces for 2019. The idea came from a photo I bought that featured the three people in cosutme. The central pair in each picture is two-thirds of that image, manipulated into a new place and uncertain narrative. Both of these will be featuring in my…
Slowly things dawn on me in my creative life and result in changes in direction for me, and this is one of those moments. It started because I’ve been collecting old photos for a long time, based on different themes that have interested me. In the back of my mind,…
I’m pleased to be able to present the first of my new pieces, Rhossili Clown Girl. It’s painted on heavy watercolour paper with watercolours, ink and acrylic. The small scale of the piece appeals to me, I’ve always like small works and working small, despite going large at times. I…
