Flights of Fancy Exhibition - Knutsford Academy Gallery

I will be exhibiting 3 paintings at Knutsford Academy Gallery from 30th October - 11th November (viewable to the public via appointment). The exhibition is a group show and has been curated by David Gilbert (Tatton International Biennial 2012) and students from the school.It is loosely based around the biennials theme of 'Flights of Fancy'. Anyone who would like to go to the private view on the 30th send me an Email and i'll forward an invite.
The three paintings are a triptych which I have shown once before, but never together, so I am very much looking forward to seeing them up!! Add to that the fact that 'Knutsford Academy' is my old school (which I havnt set foot in for the best part of 20 years) and that it is also around 10 years( to my knowledge anyway) since I publically exhibited any work in the town and near surrounding area, it makes for an excitng venture. For further info on the school and directions please see there official website at:

Since March of this year I have also been working on a new drawing project, developing pencil and ink pieces which will hopefully be shown together at some point in the future. I have been in dialogue with a couple of galleries realting to this (working title 'The Cathedrals of Folly) so keep posted for any future developments. Until then here is a small sample of  two of  works in progress.
