I would just like to say a very big thank you to everyone who made it to my Private View at the Foundry on 23 March 23!

This month and May are all busy

A reminder to all...

I am not 60 yet, just a few days to go, but I am taking this year to reflect on my artistic practice and enjoy and share my creations which involve my colourful portrait painting, alongside the video collages, photographs and montages as well as performance and poetry. 

The group exhibition Being Present

continues until 13 May 2023

Introduction to Dynamic Drawing

Friday 14th April 2023, 2-4pm, Bethlem Gallery  

Join me and learn to draw like you’ve never drawn before; using your own body and memory you'll create group drawings and individual pieces. 

The workshop follows experimental practice and looks at new ways to use drawing, to have fun and come together in a safe space. 

* About Bethlem Gallery workshops: Under 16’s must be accompanied by an adult. Concessions are available for SLaM service users, people over 60, students, people receiving ESA, people registered disabled and their carers. If you can't attend it's important to let us know so your concession ticket can be given to someone else.
