I was delighted to be invited to take part in this prestigious selling exhibition at the historic Lanercost Priory, near Brampton, Cumbria.
Hot on the heels of INSPIRE, I collaborated to create a new art trail and pop-up exhibition themed around Midsummer Night's Dream and the Summer Solstice in
Carlisle City Centre.

I'm delighted to have been selected as a finalist in this year's Visual Art Open Emerging Artists Award 2020.
Following on the amazing support received and success of PROSEED 2020, I was delighted to create a 12 day pop-up art sale exhibition in Carlisle City Centre.
This event featured more than 60 artists including a number of notable National prize winning and Internationally exhibited painters, sculptors and printmakers.
Due to the life-altering events surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and the resultant collapse of national art exhibitions, I wanted to find a way to safely exhibit artworks once more in the real world.
As lockdown measures began to be relaxed, an opportunity to open a pop-up exhibition on one of Carlisle's major trunk roads appeared and after a careful risk assessment I decided to invite other Cumbrian artists to partake in a new exhibition initiative. The response has been overwhelmingly positive and just the attitude we all need in these challenging times.
Upfront Cumbrian Art Open 2020
I feel privileged to have had three pieces accepted for this prestigious open competition and am delighted to have won a special Gallery Prize for this installation, 'Dusk to Dusk'. The piece was created from recycled decorating dust sheets with household paint, wood offcuts, charcoal and found objects.
Thank you to everyone who visited and bought my artwork at this prestigious exhibition in the heart of Manchester.
