Exhibitions and Galleries

“Art in June Kent” Open Studios 2026 runs from 5th - 21st June. You are warmly invited to my “Open Studios” event at “Beechwood” Toys Hill, TN16 1QG, to view my contemporary art, ceramic sculptures by Julia Cox and garden furniture and ornaments crafted form recycled metal & wood by Dan Bird .

Penshurst Art Fair. In October 2025 I organised the inaugural Penshurst Art Fair - 11 established and award winning artists, jewellery & glassmakers, and ceramicists exhibited. With an evening Private View and then a full weekend for the exhibition, we had over 500 visitors. It was quite a challenge, a great success, and had a very enjoyable vibe.
PAF 2026 has an exciting lineup and starts on 16th October, For full details click here on Penshurst Art Fair

“Art in June Kent” Open Studios 2026 was my fifth “Open Studios” fortnight. Despite three road closures we had over 300 visitors and sales were higher than last year. I am now on Commission No 7 from the show, so it has been a busy summer of art.

In late 2025 I was delighted to win a landscape “Artist of the Year” Award from Art Focus Magazine, including ‘a very well deserved accolade for a talented artist and certainly a name to watch out for in 26/27!”
