Tresco Show

I’m thrilled to be showing with Gallery Tresco for around the 12th year.

In February we enjoyed our annual winter visit as part of a week long artist’s residency. One morning I borrowed a rusty old bike with broken gears and cycled down from the cottage to the Abbey Gardens with my drawing essentials to gather information for new work. It was wonderful to spend a morning sketching with not a soul to be seen except for the red squirrels.

Here are the 6 paintings inspired by that morning and other visits. I’m hoping they capture the lushness and tranquillity of these stunning gardens.

The exhibition started on 18th May and is showing for 3 weeks. Other artists exhibiting include Gary Long, Nicola Hancox, Will Shakspeare, Wendy Mcbride, Jon Evison and Ian Shearman.
