.After my successful solo show at Newlyn's Jupiter Gallery I am happy to say that the Penzance Studios group show has been extended till June 30th and I have an additional two pieces in it.

I am currently working on a collection of works that hopefully will result in 10 wall works and 11 three dimensional pieces. I'm not yet sure what they will be made from yet. They are just card maquettes at the moment.

The collection will be called "A Throw Of The Dice Never Will Abolish Chance". More of which later...

Finally managed to start thinking about new ideas and experimenting with corroding copper. My intention when moving down here was to have a studio with outside space and to work on larger pieces. Although I have a fair sized studio and outside space they are two floors away from each other and access to my studio means I am limited in the size of work I'll be able to get out of there. So, for now I'm keeping things small but persisting with the three dimensional ideas.

Not that I expected to win. It was an honour to make the 36 strong shortlist out of 723 entries from around the world and the quality of the shortlisted work was very high. It was a great evening too. Congratulations to the overall winner, Harumi Tanaka, one of the few artist I was already following on Instagram. I'm looking forward to next years already.

Some of the more observant among you may have noticed that I have subtly been streamlining this site to separate my prints from the more serious aspect of painting and who knows maybe more three dimensional work. So, all of my photography and prints are now available through Etsy and will be drop-shipped directly from The Printspace. I am working on a catalogue, a link to which is at the bottom of the home page. I just need to make live links to the individual works on Etsy now.
