The exhibition is part of the Urban Tree Festival, a London wide festival celebrating our wonderful tree population, with more than 70 events across 1 week. Find more information on that here and there's information about the Urban Forest exhibition here. I'm really pleased that my miniature landscapes made it into the show!

 Hi everyone!

I hope spring is making you smile!

I'd be delighted to see you at the opening of Down the Rabbit Hole this Thursday April 16th, from 6  - 8pm RSVP ESSENTIAL to: downtherabbitholeexhibition@gmail.com

It's a group show, in memory of artist

Katya Kan (1987 - 2023) and brings together
over 30 artists in an immersive and
ground breaking exhibition to celebrate her
all-too-brief life.
Curated by Katya's Space CIC, the exhibition
takes place in the labyrinthine tunnels of The Crypt Gallery at Saint Pancras New Church,
165 Euston Road London, NW1 2BA, where the metaphorical "rabbit hole" unfolds to reveal displays of multidisciplinary art.
The exhibition runs for 3 days from April 17th - 19th, 10am - 6pm. 
The private viewing is 16th April 6-8pm (RSVP here to attend) and the exhibition has its closing party Sunday April 19th 6-9:30pm. More information can be found here

On 9th and 10th of May you can find me at East Dulwich Open House, part of Dulwich Festival. I'll be selling a variety of crafty items, including miniature collage, embroidered cat wallets, and funky fingers. I'll be at The Woodsman pub, SE26, between 11am and 6pm both days. I hope to see you!

SAVE THE DATE! I've been working with Frog Morris and Sarah Sparkes as directors of Collaborative Arts CIC, on Compound Notions, an exciting art exhibition on the theme of collage. The show opens on Thursday May 21st, at 11am, with the opening party that evening from 6-8.30pm. 

We'll be running a free drop in workshop at the party, and we'll weave the results into the exhibition. So come along for your chance to have your work on display at this ground breaking show!

I've got work in Parallax Art Fair this coming weekend, and the private view is on Friday from 6 - 9.30pm. I'd love to see you!

It's in a stunning old building - Chelsea Old Town Hall, and tickets are free, with the chance to win £1,000 to spend on art. 

What I love about Parallax is the eclectic mix of art that's on show with loads of really interesting and varied artists selling all sorts of things.

Here are the details:

I've also got one of my collage pieces in the Apparatus #2 at Art Hub Studios CIC in New Cross/Deptford. It's a 5 minute walk from New Cross station, in the old Mornington Centre on Stanley Street - another lovely old Victorian building that used to be a school. The show's open across the second weekend in March, from Friday 6th - Sunday 8th, with the opening party on Thursday March 5th from 6-9pm. I'll be around on Saturday March 7th, so please come and say hello!
