Sometimes you need to take a break and
reset the sights. I feel like I am approaching some good times ahead in regards
to music and art. Been involved in a few things these past couple of months though
which have been great.
1st up was an exhibition at the Coterie
Gallery called painting wins again. This was arranged
and curated by artist Sean Williams and included works from artists - PAUL
BARLOW, RICHARD BARTLE, PATRICK BRIDGE, JIM CURRAN, LESLEY GUY, IRIS HARRIS,
WARREN HAYES, DALE HOLMES, DAVID JEWKES, FRANCES LEWIS, DOMINIC MASON, JADE
MORRIS, LEA TORP NIELSEN, KATYA ROBIN, HELEN STOKES, JANE WALKER, SEAN WILLIAMS and myself.
FRIDAY 1st JUNE to FRIDAY 29th JUNE 2012
This exhibition is a celebration of contemporary painting.
It highlights the great breadth of painting, from abstract to figurative, from
subtle watercolour to gestural oil painting, from cool and conceptual to
expressive and experimental. Even within the terms ‘abstract’ and
‘figurative’ lie many more interesting variations. ‘Pure Joy’ features
both hard-edged abstraction and the more gestural and experimental; for viewers
keen on figuration there is portraiture, landscape work, and a number of
interesting stops in between. ‘Pure Joy’ represents an excellent
opportunity to see the work of 17 professional artists, each of whom has a
strong connection with Sheffield.

Also-
The Red Cross Art Auction held at the winter gardens. It was a
pleasure to have my work on display here and hope it raises some $ for a great
cause.
