Rutland Open Studios - first 3 weekends of June - see link for details - http://www.rutlandopenstudios.co.uk/photo_7745197.html
My current collection of work is made up of small-scale abstract paintings and prints based on the twin themes of identity and a sense of place.
The images are developed from memories and photographs of pivotal places in my life such as the riverbank where I sat as a teenager and plotted my escape from small town life - only to return twenty years later.
This entails distilling landscapes and urban spaces to exact colours, marks and compostions until they work both as abstract landscapes and self portraits and, equally, in terms of form.
As with music, you may not necessarily decipher the precise origins of a work but nonetheless absorb the tone, mood or dynamic and bring your own narratives and interpretation to it. In a sense, without the viewer the paintings are not complete.
I have a range of work available for exhibition and sale including a 'mini exhibition' of 5 framed prints and laminated info boards/sheets that is suitable for display in non-arts venues such as shops, restaurants, hotels, schools, community centres, businesses etc. Accompanying training events, talks or workshops are available and are always designed to suit the potential participants.
I'm currently a member of Arts Council England's Independent Disability Advisory Group.

Alternatively, I can send you a cd of images of my work.
