For the last 10 years I have shown paintings and prints, in public spaces around the North and Scotland.
I have shown work up and down the Eastcoast mainline in waiting rooms and lounges from Edinburgh to Leeds. In beautiful listed buildings in Newcastle. Comedy clubs and bars. In a fine Cathedral and a beautiful, Victorian park.
The Pleasure is to Play is a small retrospective of paintings and prints from these shows., Held at the lovely Peoples Theatre Gallery, Newcastle. Oct-Dec. 2023
