The Other Art Fair
Truman Brewery, London, 13-16 October
I am delighted to have been selected to exhibit at The Other Art Fair, London, next month, and have been working very hard making new paintings to show there.
I was also very pleased to learn that a painting of mine features on one of three bespoke fair posters that will be around London (pictured above) and on the flyers, of which there will be 20,000 printed.
The event features work by 150 artists, has unique interactive programming features and art installations, music, food and drinks. If you are interested in coming along, watch this space as I will be giving away complimentary tickets very soon! Hope to see you there.
Art on a Postcard

The event has been running for 10 years and has featured work by well known artists including Grayson Perry, Damian Hirst, Gilbert and George, Paula Rego, Marina Abramović, Chantal Joffe, Catherine Opie and Jeremy Deller, to name but a few, and raises money for The Hepatitis C Trust towards its campaign to eliminate hepatitis C in the UK by the year 2030.
I have donated four postcard-sized paintings to be auctioned. Bidding will be available online and details of the physical exhibition will be coming soon.

Stopping Giclée Prints
I have made the decision to stop producing my own limited edition giclée prints and will be taking orders until the 26.11.21 (This Friday). Although my prints are very popular, I am currently spending far too much time working on them and want to divert this time and energy into making new work. I have lots of prints available and what I don't have, I will get printed one last time. Please have a look at my paintings page (the shop doesn't include all the prints I have) and email me with any requests/questions. All prints are museum quality, numbered and signed and now come with a certificate of authenticity. Printed on 300gsm cotton rag paper.
