Upcoming Events and Exhibitions
These events are usually free and a wonderful way to spend time picking up ideas and inspiration and perhaps some art!
Many have been cancelled or postponed to the coronavirus, so please check first.

Open Studio
In normal times the first Saturday of every month (mostly) I like to open the doors to the studio. It is a chance to pop in and see my latest works, discuss commissions and purchase some items.
It is difficult at the moment due to the Corona virus restrictions but I am hanging my work for people to view outside my studio on the days when I am in.

I love meeting my local community and the Frost Fair is a busy Christmas fair that takes place in beautiful Carshalton Village, in South London. You will find me in the tent with other artists and artisans showing a range of my prints and paintings and new limited edition bespoke art cushions for sale for Christmas.
