I am delighted to be exhibiting some of my paintings and etchings at Tregony Gallery’s Winter Show. Taking it’s title from the diminishing light as we enter into the Winter months, ‘Drawing In’ is the first exhibition at Tregony Gallery dedicated to the practice of drawing. Introducing newly represented artists Nicky Knowles, Steven Hubbard and Claire Ireland.

From diffuse textural palettes of Meg Buick, Nicole Price, Mark Hanson, Dana Finch and Sara Lee Roberts to marked·pressure points and purity of line of Gethin Evans, Daniel Preece, Judi Green, Kay Vinson and Mark Dunford.

Our Private View is Sunday 12 November 2 – 4pm. The show opens Tuesday 14 November
