It's a Nuthouse! at Chalkhorse Gallery - Feb 2008

It's a Nuthouse! was my first solo show at Chalk Horse Gallery. I made 8 portraits all up. My favourite was Pee Wee Herman (I never should have sold that one!), but I got to keep Charles Manson and George Burns. How could anyone pass on these?

Gaffa Gallery Where To...? - March 2007

This is a piece I contributed to the Gaffa Gallery re-opening exhibition, Where To...?.
Why is it so tiny?




String Theory at Chalk Horse Gallery


This was a group show at Chalk Horse Gallery which included Louise Buchanan, Jedda-Daisy Cully, Naomi Evans, Zoe Porter and myself. I made 3 little artworks, not knowing that everything else in the show was BIG! Here they are... awww...




Celebrity Bash Fundraiser - July 2006

Emily Hunt and I organized this fundraiser in aid of our yet-to-be-launched magazine, DUKE.
We put a call out to our artist friends to collaborate artworks to be exhibited auctioned off. Artists who contributed included Soda_jerk, Matthew Hopkins, Mary Macdougall, Anna Kristensen, Lara Thoms, Mark Drew, Katrina Schwarz and many more.


The theme was "celebrity". This was my contribution; a beautiful wedding portrait of Peter Andre and Jordan.


Music men

I started this series of my favourite musicians, which I never finished. One day I'll turn these into cushions...



Former Fellows at First Draft Gallery


Former Fellows was a collaborative show I did with Emily Hunt at First Draft Gallery. I embroidered a series of babes. Here's the install and close-ups of each work:








Former Fellows - collaborative works

As part of the Former Fellows show, Emily Hunt and I collaborated on these miniature celebrity collages. Emily expertly watercoloured each one and I wrote the words. Here are some shots from the install:




We also self-published a limited edition series of little silver books.




Here are close-up images from the book:
