I am very pleased to have been selected for this years ING Discerning Eye Exhibition.

My piece 'Knitting' was selected by Mervyn Metcalf. The exhibition, usually held at the Mall Galleries in London, will be online only this year due to Covid-19. It is now available to view using the link below, and the exhibition will continue online until December the 31st. www.ingdeexhibition.org/  Knitting - 18x20.1cm, Oil on Board - The ING Discerning Eye Exhibition  Budapest Street Scene - 45x45cm, Oil on Board - Gallery Q As galleries start to reopen, I will have work in two different exhibitions this month and next.

The penguin parade is a free and accessible public art and cultural event that see's 'a colony of colourful giant penguins invade the city of Dundee during 2018'. The trail went live on 29th June and will be live all summer culminating in a grand farewell event in Slessor Gardens on 22 and 23 September before a spectacular auction on 24 September 2018. The project will raise funds for Maggie's Dundee, a charity which provides free practical, emotional and social support for people with cancer and their families and friends. My penguin, entitled Journalism, can be found outside the McManus Galleries, opposite the DC Thomson building. My design draws inspiration from Dundee's famous history in publishing. To illustrate this, the design features a depiction of the DC Thomson building on the front, the cover of the first issue of the Dandy on the back, and scenes from the printing industry on either side.          |
