I'M ON TV!
24 July 2022
Whilst I can't pretend the programme was all about me, I had great fun watching this engaging and informative documentary about the RA Summer Exhibition. Presented by the one-and-only Joe Lycett, it was on BBC2, and can still be viewed on the BBC iPlayer app - "Joe Lycett: Summer Exhibitionist".
My cyanotype "Aquarius" and I pop up a few times in the background. It was exciting to see Aquarius heading for the traditional judging stool, which has been part of the RA forever - a bit like the sorting hat at Hogwarts. Luckily, it was picked!

ST ANDREWS ECO HUB
1 July - 31 August 2022
I was delighted to be invited to display four of my cyanotypes in the Eco Hub, to help promote their plastic-free initiatives this summer!
The Eco Hub has all sorts of wonderful projects underway in their new premises in Kinnessburn Road, St Andrews. It has completely refurbished an old betting shop using reclaimed materials and soon it will also be adding a full refill facility in addition to the resources it already offers.
One of the amazing things the Eco Hub supports is the St Andrews Beach Wheelchairs on the West Sands (famous for being the beach in the opening sequence of Chariots Of Fire). I will be making a donation to the Wheelchairs for any of my works sold during their time on display in the Eco Hub.

EAST NEUK OPEN STUDIOS
2 - 3 July 2022
This year's Open Studios was fairly quiet, possibly due to a recent surge in Covid cases locally.
However, my visitors proved that it is quality, not quantity that counts!
I had so many lovely comments and I was very happy to also sell some of my work, including to one wonderful collector who arranged to come back after the event to make the purchase they had been considering.
Our next event will be at Bowhouse, by St Monans on the weekend of 5 November.

SELECTED FOR THE ROYAL ACADEMY SUMMER EXHIBITION 2022

I am beyond delighted! This cyanotype has been selected to hang in this year's Royal Academy Summer Exhibition on the theme of 'Climate'.

this piece addresses climate change through our over-dependence on

an endless stream of single-use plastics.
