Media Coverage
Some of the stories that captured the imagination of the media early on in my art career included a project to link my past career, as a print journalist and senior PR for BBC/Sky News, with my present as an artist.
Soon after completing my portraiture studies at The Heatherley School of Fine Art, I asked those broadcast journalists whose public profile I had looked after, such as the BBC's John Humphrys and George Alagiah, ITV News’ Julie Etchingham and Sky News' Adam Boulton, if I could portray them in oils.
Reports of the resulting portraits were carried in a number of outlets, as was my winning of the Judges' Prize in Egypt’s first art biennale (2013) and my selection to exhibit my portrait of the BBC's Kate Adie at the Royal Society of Portrait Painters exhibition in 2015.
My involvement with the Lots Road Group of portraitists exhibitions, which I established during my portraiture studies at Heatherley's, has regularly been reported. And you can find our catalogues below, together with those relating to my participation in the Milan Expo 2015, the biennale and continuing Resident Artist Half Moon Putney shows.
My membership of Skylark Galleries and, most recently, my participation in The Art of PR, has given rise to media coverage, as have my artistic collaborations with rock photographer Sol N'Jie, under the 'Art and Sol' banner, and fellow portraitist Susie Nathanson.
