Places of Pilgrimage - Durham Cathedral

Places of Pilgrimage arrives at Durham Cathedral with a preview on Tuesday 1st November. Between 6.30 and 8.30 pm you can see my paintings and prints of special places, with a few pictures especially created for this exhibition. 
This exhibition and the accompanying book have many strands which are personally important running through them. In this case it is the setting of the cathedral’s Undercroft Restaurant. It was in this lovely medieval room, almost 40 years ago, that I sold the first paintings of my professional career.
Durham is a very important place for me . I describe it like this in the book of the exhibition:
“I return to Durham whenever I can: to linger on Prebends Bridge and gaze at the cathedral, to walk the curving, cobblestoned Bailey, to stroll through the Close, to stand in the Galilee Chapel or, best of all, to climb to the roof of the tower. Durham Cathedral feels wonderful, deep, real. It has wrapped its shadows round me when I’ve needed comfort; it held me in streams of refracted light when I’ve felt joy; it has waited patiently for me to order my thoughts when I’ve needed space to think. It is a place of sanctuary, standing a little outside of the world. It is a friend.”
Please come and join me for a chat and a drink at the preview if you can.
I’ve made a special page of the work on show. If you CLICK HERE you can see it. There is also a film about the exhibition (showing me painting the cathedral). CLICK HERE to watch.

Places of Pilgrimage: Greenwich

10/1/2016

Places of Pilgrimage, my touring exhibition, moves to Made In Greenwich from Thursday this week (324 Creek Road, London SE10 9SW)

This is a very personal part of the tour. My Dad worked at Greenwich Power Station and a trip to Greenwich by boat was a favourite treat when I was a kid. I think the view of London from the observatory is the best there is.

I'll be at the gallery on Sunday 9th October from 2pm if you'd like to say hello.

This exhibition gives me the chance to show a number of pieces inspired by special places I love in London. Here are a few: Misty Day,  Westminster (screen print), Abbey Road (screen print), Greenwich from Blackwall Reach (watercolour), The Pagoda, Kew Gardens (watercolour), Greenwich Observatory by Moonlight (watercolour), The Great Gatehouse, Hampton Court (watercolour), The Windmill, Wimbledon Common (screen print), King's Cross Station (screen print), Greenwich from Blackwall Reach (screen print). 

The exhibition continues until 18th October. For more details CLICK HERE
