Exhibitions
RyeScape
Ryedale is my dale. Ryedale being the area in North Yorkshire where I live and work. I’m so fortunate in this, as Ryedale District Council are doing lots of exciting things for their artists and we have a remarkable Creative Economy Officer, Yvette Turnbull whose enthusiasm for and nurturing of creatives is infectious […]
Sculpture in Kirkbymoorside
Just a week from now I’ll be in Kirkbymoorside exhibiting my sculpture in the Moorside Room as part of the Christmas Fair market. This morning I’ve been painting a sign for the entrance so you’ll find us easily and Janet has made this lovely poster. It has made me think how easy […]
Kirkbymoorside Christmas Fair
Watching the first snowflakes fall the other day, and seeing Autumn turned white, stirred flickers of excitement and glee! It brings the feelings and childlike anticipation of Christmas and memories of sledging, collecting holly, long walks and snow-ball fights – there’s a particular way snow sticks to mittens, I can smell the snow-sodden wool […]
Is it a pear? … & Edinburgh Art Fair
It is a question I get asked about my ‘pear-shaped’ sculptures – I didn’t think about pears at all whilst carving, but it is a shape, full of roundness and curves, that I love. The texture of the skin is gorgeous too, like some browny-green, golden fine-grained stone. The sculptures were a direct response […]
Visits and Anniversaries

Gardens Illustrated Festival – Spring 2017
I’m very pleased to say that the team at Gardens Illustrated have just confirmed that I’ve been chosen to exhibit in their Shopping Marquee at the Gardens Illustrated Festival in March next year. To celebrate I’ve made this little pot – and will be making lots more designs for the Festival and sculpture too, […]
The Art Market YORK 2016
What an enjoyable three days! I’m now back in the workshop after exhibiting at The Art Market YORK – big thanks to all who made this such a successful and happy show, the organisers, visitors and all the amazingly talented artists and makers. I feel quite inspired and envigorated by it all! Here […]
Behind the Scenes
Of course for me it is an every day scene – but The Art Market have made a series of short films as an introduction to artists exhibiting at their event The Art Market YORK. They visited me, along with One & Other Creative, who made the film – Meet the Maker – Jennifer […]
In the Workshop today – making a film!
It has been very exciting here, having One&Other Creative at the workshop filming. They’re making a series of films of artists who are exhibiting at The Art Market YORK at the beginning of October. The short videos will show artists’ workplaces, how their work is made and give a little insight and background – […]
