Summer Newsletter July 2016

Recent work has been about colour – "Wildflowers" and "Just One Blackbird" series’, and "Applecross" series with slightly more muted tones. I exhibited at a trade show in London in May and the most popular pieces were the "Charcoal" series, with sales of the new “White Blackbird” and “Sparrow”, “Leap”, “Angel”, “Somebody’s Daughter” and a new piece, “Murakami 1”. I’ve also published a book, which showcases recent work.

Calendar 2017 - Just One Blackbird

NEW WORK - CHARCOAL DRAWINGS

The recent drawings of the sparrow and the white blackbird are the result of an ongoing fascination with birds, and their symbolism within our history and culture. The bird in flight is a symbol of freedom, particularly intellectual and creative freedom, but also has other meanings. This particular sparrow was drawn just after events in Paris. The symbolism is multi-layered, the common sparrow rising above. White blackbirds also exist, albinoism occurring in birds as in humans. The sighting of an animal so rare is taken as a portent of dramatic change and has magical connotations.

The original sketches are available to buy as the original charcoal on paper (here), or as limited edition prints (here). We use Headrow Gallery in Leeds for all our framing and can arrange for you, if required.
