Known for the finest Scottish knitwear for over a hundred years the company has gone from strength to strength under new foreign ownership which has invested in the traditional heritage while upgrading to contemporary luxury knitwear pieces as well as wovens. They support up-and-coming artists in their spectacular showroom Which is as good as any top gallery space. It is much appreciated for this opportunity.

St.Thomas Children’s Ward - the art of giving!
Donating artworks for public and healthcare spaces in England, Scotland and Wales/ under the Art for Hospitals Program
Evangelina Ward specializing in Child care for Corona Virus and Accidents and Emergency. Waterloo, London W1.
The nurses and doctors had no where calming and peaceful to relax after their incredibly taxing shifts so we cleared the room and hung my work with nice lighting- the day before the second lockdown - and I rushed home on the train and made it by midnight home to Kent. What a day!
Thank you to Doctor S and the wonderful Irish Sister who made me feel so welcome.
Donated in late 2020

Horsebridge Gallery
8-20th October 2021
Horsebridge Gallery is a community space very similar to a big gallery in London with big white walls that suits my work perfectly .
I was able to show with other great landscape artists such as Anthony Giles, Paul Fowler and Paul Gadenne
Donation : Margate Hospital (Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother Hospital).2022
It was a pleasure to give 5 big abstract artworks for these huge public spaces in major access areas within the hospital to create a positive and inspirational mood in a place that is often stressful and a bad experience for many. Stress, anxiety and pain are often hand in hand in such a place. If I can alleviate that I have done my job well in some small way. The feedback and messages from staff and visitors has been truly amazing.

‘Elements’
New Landscapes/ Seascapes
I have been planning a new style of landscape for some time and Celso who owns the Cuckoo Gallery in Cliftonville gave me the opportunity to show case just a few new very large works and some smaller abstracts.
Elements is based on not just the weather elements and it's powerful effects eroding our world over Time but the elemental minerals which back our economies and adorns our bodies. This means gold, platinum, silver, diamond and copper for example which are more and more becoming tantamount in our lives as banking systems become scarily unstable.
