Galleries are open, there is Spring in the air! There is a great feeling of optimism in this house! I am busy framing up new work ready for 3 exhibitions this month and next.
My first exhibition of this year is in North Wales in a beautiful little gallery, Oriel Ty Meirion, near Barmouth. The theme is RNLI Coastal and Maritime with 10% of sales donations to the RNLI. It is such a great cause.

My second exhibition is the Ellesmere Art Exhibition. Due to Covid-19 restrictions this year it is a online exhibition over an 8 week period. I will put a link on my exhibition page when it’s live after May 31st. It runs until 11th July 2021. Lots of talented artists taking part and I am very proud to be in their company.
The third one is in my hometown Oswestry, Shropshire, its the Summer Open Exhibition : 19th June – 7th August at the WILLOW GALLERY, Willow Street, check their website for opening hours
I will have a large selection of my new work in this show. Including a series of 10 pieces inspired by a beautiful lake I visit regularly.
It is an intriguing place full of wildlife. The atmosphere changes as you walk around its edge.These embroideries are studies of the effect of the light on all the elements. I have explored reflections, movement on the lakes surface and in the swathe of reeds and trees that surround this body of water.
I am looking forward to seeing this series all hanging together in the gallery
BVA LIBRARY SHOW JUNE 7 – JULY 5
Finally I will have some work in Oswestry Library in the summer. Some experimental stitched and embellished landscapes based on Shropshire walks. It’s a mixed show of work by the BVA, the group of artists that usually hold the Open Studio event in June each year.
