Before we know it, it will be Christmas.

Done and dusted. All my biggest in person shows are done and dusted for 2025. What a busy year this has been. I feel like I have spent the whole year running in circles chasing my own tail and never quite catching up. The chaos has a recognisable source: getting my business back on track after two years of studying my Masters of Fine Art and doing very little painting.

The Agria Horse Trials at Blenheim Palace in September was a first event for me and a lot of fun. I had the assistance on my booth of some friends and collectors of my art, Deborah and Robert, that made it all the more enjoyable. They, in turn, were shocked at the preparation involved in holding an art booth at a show. Respect went both ways as they gave up their time to help me out.

Now as I head into Christmas I’ll throw my all into providing a variety of goods for you to purchase for your loved ones so they can be recipients of a unique piece of art from my studio. Keep watch for the opening of my Christmas store in the last week of October. Subscribers will receive first notice and first offers.

My studio will be open to private viewings throughout November in the lead up to Christmas. Email me to make an appointment.

Also a quick note to please check your emails and make sure notes from me don’t end up in your spam/junk. Three recipients of the monthly art print draw have missed out on receiving a free print. Such a shame as we all love a give away!

Till next time,
