Back in February, I took part in ‘Correspondence‘, a contemporary art show in a pop-up space open during the Brighton Science Festival. It took place across real and virtual platforms and explored how new technologies could promote the accessibility of the arts and change ideas about public spaces. Fourteen artists worked together to make the
The following has been adapted from the guest blog post for the Onca Gallery blog here. In the Summer of 2014, I took the opportunity to become part of the crew of SeaDragon with Pangaea Expeditions sailing from Iceland to Sweden alongside three other artists. Although the expedition was called ‘Whale Watching’ we would also
So the maps have gone to the framers, press releases have been composed, invites have been sent and the artists are getting ready for the Private view on March 10th. I have copied information below about all the artists exhibiting in The Whale Road from the gallery blog. You can find more information here. Exhibiting

I returned from the 1300 miles between Iceland
I was asked to create a mural recently for ONCA gallery, Brighton to celebrate their Summer season of exhibitions focussing on woods and forests. I’m not so good with heights but managed to get to the top with help from tall volunteers.The painting is based on tree rings and you can see it clearly, peering
I recently spent a great afternoon at Brighton Festival’s Doodlefest – letting myself doodle, just drawing the other drawers and allowing my mind to wander with no particular purpose. The day was sunny, the rooms rammed but surprisingly calm and I really had the best time. All the doodled postcards were posted onto a wall
The Agency Group asked me if they could use the map of Brighton from the Latest Discoveries as part of a goodie bag for a music industry event at the Great Escape – an amazing music festival in Brighton that showcases new and emerging talent. Schlepp around the 35 different venues in Brighton from pubs
I’m still continuing to draw regularly in pubs around Brighton. These images are either in biro or soft pencils – I try not to rub out too much, leaving the original line intact.
