Artist in residence

At Nature in Art, Oct 2023

I spent a week as Artist in Residence at Nature in Art in Gloucestershire. Got lot of great feedback from visitors about my new Acrylic work, and sold lots of paintings.

It was also a pleasure to meet the members of The Wildlife Art Society International (TWASI) on their Annual Members Day. I was invited to this event as guest speaker.

The day also involved a critique of everybody's work with me leading the discussion. It is always amazing to see the variety of styles and approaches to wildlife art. I came away feeling very inspired. Will definitely be joining TWASI!
