Inspiration strikes in the most unlikely of places

My 50th birthday celebrations have rolled on and on (still just about getting away with it) but we went to see The Specials in Newcastle, haven’t been out on the toon for years- who knew it’s trendy to drink out of vases ?! Anyway wandered down to the Sunday Quayside market via the Bigg Market, bit sad to see it with so many empty businesses, but loads of inspiration for my latest ‘Owd Lasses ‘the Geordie Girls’ are jumping out of the canvas as we speak…pet 😉 strong, loud and proud can’t wait to introduce them to their Yorkshire Lass cousins… and guess the name of one of them??

Studio Visits

My studio is open by appointment, offering a relaxed chance to see the work up close, talk through ideas, and spend time with the paintings in the space they’re made. Visitors are welcome to browse finished pieces, view works in progress, and ask questions — no pressure, no white gloves, just an honest look at the process behind the work. If you’re considering a particular painting or commission, a studio visit allows time to connect with the story, the colour, the humour and the detail that doesn’t always come through on a screen. Expect conversation, a cuppa, might stretch to a custard cream and a bit of a gossip but always a very warm welcome.

Studio visits are designed to feel comfortable and welcoming — especially if you’ve never visited an artist’s studio before.
