Description
"These are the latest pieces in an ongoing series, painted directly onto linen book covers. I have a lifelong love of books as tactile items, as well as vessels for thoughts, ideas and memories.
Sketchbooks are a key part of my process and I spend a lot of time drawing on location; these paintings take that connection one step further - using the fabric cover as a canvas on which to capture my interactions with the landscape, and to record the places these books have been."
Mixed media on sketchbook cover.

River Journal II
The gallery is small, but it punches well above its weight. Friendly, expert and hugely knowledgeable about the artists it represents and displays, there is always something of interest, at different price levels.
