2021



Iv introduced the BE THERE BE SQUARE range of mounted prints. I hope you like these as an alternative to the regular travel posters.

iv tried to keep my prices low over the years, but due to increased costs of materials and just about everything else,
iv had to up the prices a little. Im sorry to do this but hope you still find the price competitive to other art and design prints on the market,


Back up and running!
There was a short delay for a while due to printer problems but issues resolved and my usual speedy service has resumed.

Its that time of year again.
Although Im listed in the back of the Open Studios catalogue, my loft studio just isnt suitable
for visitors and Im very busy keeping up with your orders, so not practical for me to take time out.
But so much of my work is available to view or buy from the Aqualibrium Gallery down on the duver.

You will find Julia, Will and Caroline very helpful and its such a lovely area for a walk and lunch or an icecream.
Just drive to the end of the road and look for the big green sheds.

You can also give me a ring or email me with any questions regarding my work or to discuss commissions.

And you can order from my website. Postage is free anywhere in U.K

 



Delighted to be showing my work at the AA London Gallery in Chiswick.
I will be working on some more London paintings soon.
 


I love painting stripes but sometimes I like to to experiment with other techniques.
So I have added a FREESTYLE section to my SHOP page.
MILL WALL, DUVER
 


NEW range of square posters with town and village names in fun colours.
BE THERE, BE SQUARE.
BEMBRIDGE SQ
 


Open Studios is going ahead ths summer. Although I wont have open doors,
you can find most of my original paintings and prints down at the Aqualibrium gallery.


FREE P & P IS BACK

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Thank you so much for your support throughout this difficult year.
Lets hope things settle down soon.
