My beautiful stormy painting 'Geese Over Loch Laich Salt Marsh' is currently on display and for sale at the Ty Pawb Open Exhibition 2024 in Wrexham. It's always nice to see your art in a public space and even better when you eavesdrop on people and here them call it beautiful!

Another Wrexham Artisan Market and my first (sort of) Christmas market of the year. It was another lovely day (they really do know how to pick the weather!) and once again lots of people came through. I also had some return customers which is always amazing.

Definitely the best setting I have ever had for a craft fair! This was at Gwrych Castle in Abergele back in August and although it wasn't a great event in terms of sales it was a beautiful fair and the view was stunning!

It was shame the event wasn't better sign posted because almost everyone I spoke to was simply there to visit the castle and the craft fair was a nice surprise; they had no idea it was on. Still, the weather was beautiful and I had some yummy food so I had a lovely day anyway!

Wrexham had it's very first official Pride event this year with a special Pride Market to go with it. It was my first time at Pride and it was such a fun day with so much joy and colour. A lot more people turned up than the organisers thought would do which was lovely, and hopefully it will become a bigger and better event every year!

The market stalls were all encouraged to get rainbowed up for the event and they all looked so beautiful and fun. I made my own felt rainbow bunting which looked adorable!

It's new exhibition time at the Drawing Board in Wrexham again! This time I've entered 'Bee on Pink Lavender' parts 1 and 2. I wanted to enter part 3 as well but this was a popular exhibition and everyone was limited to just two pieces. 

Hopefully someone will love them as much as I do and buy them! 

What a way to start the year! Two of my paintings - 'Steps to the Castle' and 'Cormorants and Herring Gulls' - were both accepted as part of the Royal Cambrian Academy Open Exhibition 2024! The RCA are a big deal so this was a really proud moment for me, and there were so many amazing artworks there so to be amongst them was a real validation of my work. 

The RCA Gallery is in Conwy so I picked two paintings that showcase two of my favourite places in Wales; Castell Dinas Bran and the North Wales coast.

The exhibition is still on until the end of February so if you happen to be in the area do go check it out!

The Drawing Board in Wrexham - a community run gallery - celebrated it's 2nd birthday today and opened it's latest exhibition (with plenty of cake which is the best way to open anything!). 

I have two paintings for sale in the new exhibition - 'Hello!' and 'Weather Coming In'. It's the first time I've put in large pieces so we'll see how they do. Since I started exhibiting at The Drawing Board I think I've sold four pieces but they have all been small illustrations, so I'm excited to see if anyone is willing to pay a bit more for my paintings.

I met a few of the other exhibiting artists there today and a few of them said 'Weather Coming In' was one of their favourite pieces which was so nice to hear! 'Hello!' got a much more muted response which was a shame but I still love it and I'm sure someone else will to!
