I've got new work in development but, in the meantime, I thought it would be nice to revisit some of last year's exhibitions, as it was a very busy year!
Flashback: Summer in Esher
A new addition to my sculptures - the Triboids series.
Triboid-33 and Triboid-22 made an appearance in Esher last Summer, as part of a Surrey Sculpture Society exhibition. It ran through June and July in the beautiful National TrustClaremont Landscape gardens. Very adorable ducklings exploring the sculpture trail on set up day and saying hello to the Triboids!

Flashback: Hertford Arts Trail
A huge thank you to Clarisa and Andy at Grisaille Studio for hosting my work at their lovely Hertford studio last April! It was a pleasure to be part of the Hertford Arts Trail, organised by Courtyard Arts in partnership with Hertford Town Council. My squirrels, Red and Red 2, were a big hit with passers-by and I'm thrilled to share that my largest canvas to date - the 70x70 cm Rustbots C70 - found a new home during the event.

Process & Materials
I'm excited to share a photo of a recent commission completed for a client as a special gift. My process was to build up layers of Montana Gold aerosol, with washes of acrylic paint and then used Posca pens to add all the finer details for the character.
Roobot - Acrylic, Montana Gold aerosol and Posca markers on Canvas board.
My spray paint of choice is Montana Gold. It is a professional-grade, CFC and lead-free liquid acrylic that provides high-quality pigment and a beautiful matte finish. Because it is lightfast rated, the colours on this piece will stay bright and vivid.
I love bringing uniquecharacters to life and have some space in my calendar to take on some new comissions, so if you are looking for a one-of-a-kind gift, drop me a line to discuss.
As a thank you for your patience and for joining this journey, Iโve created a free 'Out of the Blue' mobile wallpaper just for subscribers. Hope you like it!
