This year I have two paintings hanging in their community get together in the annual Christmas show at ‘The Pier’.

Apparently there are 175 artists included – much accomplished and stunning, some powerful and thought provoking, some just sublime.

Very much worth a look around, and a look out of the windows. The views are part of the permanent collection.

Then on the way home you can see what the ancestors did with the place.

This November I am delighted to be having in a pop-up show on the 24th to 26th at

The Captain’s House in Kirkwall.

The opportunity to have paintings showing in their ‘home town’, in such a historic and well-known building, feels particularly special.

Hosted by the artist and captain Maiwenn Beadle, and architect Leslie Burgher, the collection will include some previously unseen work.

Please come in for a chat and a look around!

I’ll be there each day from 10am to 4pm.
