I am now revving up for my first exhibition for the autumn sadly it’s not at the RA just yet however, in my opinion possibly better! Its a small but perfectly formed gallery which has been created in nearby Shepton Mallett, Starlight Studio Art, 18 Town Street, Shepton Mallett BA5 5BJ.

Organised by Mandie Stone-Outen and her husband Brian Outen, two well known and popular figures in my area, Starlight Studio Art is a gallery with a difference, it is also a juice bar.  Mandie and Brian are great supporters of all the arts and particularly like to feature some of the many talented local artists, so I was very flattered when they contacted me to exhibit.  They have decorated the space beautifully, promoting a calm and joyful atmosphere where people can pop in have some juice, see and buy some beautiful pieces of local art and just enjoy the great ambience they have created.

Having spent a very pleasant hour or so with Mandie and Brian while organising the exhibition that is just what people do.  So I’m hoping that a whole new audience will come along to view my work.  So if you happen to be in the area between 8th September and 10th October they I highly recommend you make time to visit.

In addition to some of my tree inspired paintings I will be featuring my sketchbooks and some videos to help demonstrate just what it is that inspires me to create my work.  Looking forward to it and I hope you are too.
