Exhibitions 2024

The last six months of this year have been something of a whirl. Having entered a number of open exhibitions and having no rejections, time has been in short supply with all the printing, packaging, entry forms, and private views.

Print Fest Wolverhampton demanded a huge effort to plate-make, print and mount twelve new works from scratch in eight weeks but what a show it was! I found myself involved with a real “family” of printmakers full of friendly goodwill and great fun to be with. I made a few sales, got lots of feedback on the new astrogravure project, and had endless interesting conversations about art, astronomy and life. What made it better than ever were the friendships found and forged in the intensity of preparation and displaying works.

I’m looking forward now to 2025 with works at the RBSA in January, another Print Fest later in the year and a solo show at Rugby Musuem and Art Gallery in August 2025.
