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 .

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!”

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 and a great success, and had a very enjoyable vibe, happy artists all round, and I was thrilled to sell 9 works. For details of this year’s click here on Penshurst Art Fair
