'Our Coat of Arms' at the RWA Open Exhibition

A few shots of my work hanging at this year's inspiring Annual Open Exhibition at the Royal West of England Academy:









Always gratifying to finish off the year by showing in this wonderful old building.

'The Cylical Return' at the RWA Open Exhibition

It was a real pleasure to be a part of the Annual Open Exhibition at The Royal West of England Academy for the second year running. The standard of work was characteristically high and I felt honored to have shown alongside high profile artists, including Sir Peter Blake and HRH The Prince of Wales. 

Here are a few shots of my work hanging at the show in the Methuen Gallery:

It was the perfect way to finish off the year and I would like to thank everyone who came out to see the exhibition.

Recent life drawing sketches

As the weekly life drawing sessions that I attend have now finished up for the summer, I thought I would post a couple of better sketches from the past term;

The RWA '161st Annual Open Exhibition'

It has been an mildly anxious couple of months of waiting since I applied to the Royal West of England Academy's renowned Annual Open Exhibition. Of some 2500+ artworks submitted this year, only around 500 were eventually chosen. So, I was naturally delighted to learn that my work had made it through the final selection process and would be hung at this prestigious event.

The exhibition opened this weekend with a bustling private view event and I was completely overcome by the shear amount of inspiring and diverse artwork that was on display. My piece is situated in the Methuen gallery:

So, for a second chance to see my latest work 'A Cause for Celebration' on display, be sure to plan a visit to the RWA before 24th January 2014.

'In Living Colour' group exhibition

I am very excited to be included in the upcoming group show 'In Living Colour' that will be showing at the Grant Bradley Gallery in Bristol from 3rd - 31st August with the private view taking place on Friday 2nd August from 6pm. I am exhibiting a new large scale ink drawing entitled 'A Cause For Celebration'. The piece marks a departure from my previous work and stands as a precursor to a wider body of work that is currently in development.
