Venue: The Cornerstone Arts Centre Didcot Oxfordshire

Dates and times: 1st to 9th December 2018. Cornerstone is open from 10am – 6pm Tuesdays to Saturdays and 11am – 4pm on Sundays.

A collection of oil paintings that consider the relationship between people and their place of work.This is a celebration of the skill of the sitter where a single concentrated look can sum up a lifetime’s knowledge and experience.The lighting that illuminates their work also gives focus to the composition. Whether the spaces are cluttered, tidy, pretty or purely practical, the moods and atmospheres that they create are integral to the piece. These works are as much a portrait of the space as they are of the sitter.

NOBLE ART Boxing and Mixed Martial Arts Exhibition

Oxfordshire Artweeks Festival 2012

Venue: South Moreton Boxing Club

This is what I have been inspired to paint whilst attending South Moreton Boxing club during the last year. I have encountered some real characters and hope that I have done them justice. There is so much more that I wish to do.

Look out for next years exhibition ‘Welcome to the Cage’.

The exhibition is dedicated to my late Uncle Terry who was a successful amateur boxer.
