I am delighted to be one of the founder members of 9artistscollective, a group who have joined forces to voice visually our thoughts about our beautiful, dynamic and troubled world.
While maintaining our individual identities, we pool resources and knowledge, skills and experience, and support each other in our creative life. Our aim is to show work through exhibitions which we hope will provoke, challenge and inspire.
We are drawers, painters and ceramists working on paper, clay, canvas (sometimes raw), metal and ‘found objects’ in different mediums in 2 and 3d in sizes from 18 inches to 7 feet
We have had two exhibitions since our inception, the first at The Roper Gallery in Bath in 2022 and the latest, also in Bath, at 44AD earlier this year.
We want a dialogue with an expanding audience and we have been delighted with the response to our work so far and happy have many varied and fascinating conversations with the visitors who came to see us.
The next two exhibitions, the Autumn Trail at Pegasus Arts and The Gardens Gallery in Cheltenham are entitled ‘Protection’. This is a vast subject area that leads into politics, belief systems, culture, environment and what it is to be human. We delve into the past, examine the now and project into the future and would like to start conversations with our audience.
I really wanted to go to art college when I left school back in the 1960’s, but my Father refused to let me go as he feared they were full of long-haired radical anarchists, which was probably true at the time. Thirty years later I got my wish, and I have been trying to make up for lost time ever since.

A phrase that became quite a mantra for most of the heads of government in the Western world in the aftermath of Covid 19 and one of the anchors of The World Economic Forum’s Great Reset. This, coupled with the inexorable and still unregulated progress of AI was the inspiration behind this small drawing.
