New Ways of Seeing - COVID19
In these crazy times its important for Artists to remain active and develop new ways of interacting with the audience. With an increasing move towards self isolation and in an effort to reach out, I have set up a studio webcam and will start to livestream. If I`ve got something interesting, I`ll announce it beforehand on Instagram or Facebook, so keep your eye`s peeled! Scroll down the home page for latest videos. Use can also use the orange bubble (bottom right) to Instant Message me if you fancy a chat. Feel free to ask any questions. You don`t have to buy anything. It`s ok just to chew the fat and say howdy!
Alternatively you can connect via Skype or Facetime to view or chat about any of the artworks for sale.
