During this time, many artists have found themselves suffering from the uncertainty caused by the continued spread of coronavirus as exhibitions and events are cancelled. Exhibitions, galleries, in person workshops have disappeared. And yet art in all its forms continues to provide essential respite and enjoyment for all of us.

Because of this the #artistsupportpledge initiative was conceived. The concept is a simple one. Artists post images of their work on Instagram which they are willing to sell for more than £200 each. Anyone can buy the work. Every time an artist reaches £1000 of sales they pledge to spend £200 on another artist’s work. Find out more here artistsupportpledge.

All of my artworks for sale here are studies that were made in the process of developing new works for some of my recent shows. I use these as compositional studies and to experiment with colours which will then form the finished pieces. Some of these are studies from my Bird Women Series of monotype prints and paintings and others from my Gothic series. Although these works are small studies they are all one of a kind pieces painted in oils on specially prepared surfaces.
