News: Current/upcoming exhibitions
I have several exciting projects coming up in 2025.
​
In the spring, in March and April, I am planning two shows around my site specific work on the River Crane and Northcote Nature Reserve. More information to come.
​
In the summer, opening 12 June, I am thrilled to be exhibiting together with stone sculptor, Amanda Randall and Kew botanical illustrator Lucy Smith in Ham Library. We are working together on a project about Ham Lands, a nature reserve which lies adjacent to the River Thames between Richmond and Kingston, designated a 'Site of Metropolitan Importance for Nature Conservation'.​​​
