May 2024

First up I am exhibiting as part of York Open Studios for 2024 once more. I have a lot of new work that I look forward to showing for the first time. Feedback from people is always very helpful to me, so come along and tell me what you think.

It is at my studio at Hob Moor Drive in York. This year I exhibit with artist Gail Fox for the first time; it should make for a good show.

Our preview, to which you are welcome, is from 18.00 - 21.00 on Friday April 12.

Then in June I am exhibiting as part of North Yorkshire Open Studios for the first time. This event the entire county of Yorkshire, and so has a very different feel to the York event. I shall be exhibiting solo, so the show will be different to the York Open Studios event. Again I shall have a preview on Friday May 31st from 18.00 - 21.00. So I hope to see you at one event or the other.

BOOKS

My first two books are still available, and will be on sale at both Open Studio events.

• The Yorkshire Wolds Works from my published photo-essay on this magical land.    

• Spirit of Elmet is my latest photo essay published in June 2021. Click this tab for images from the book and details of how to order a copy.

Available direct from the author, via Amazon , or from Friargate Friends Meeting House in York.

My third book, "Rules Broken, Work Collected" is due for publication later this year.
