Duckett & Jeffreys: bringing art home

We went to see Stef and Ian of Duckett & Jeffreys Gallery this weekend as they celebrate 4 years of D&J with a new venture:  the development of a nomadic, multi space gallery with the aim of reaching an even wider audience, taking Duckett and Jeffreys into towns, cities and rural locations. A range of spaces are to be used to exhibit from within Yorkshire including Ian and Stef’s studio bases at Sledmere and Staithes. Exhibitions will also be toured further afield in Duckett and Jeffreys 1960’s vintage Sprite Touring Caravan Gallery. The first solo show at their home and studio in Sledmere, North Yorkshire sees the return of Sally Taylor, with 'Confused Heads'. There is also a carefully curated mix of other artists including Mp Landis, Olivia Jeffries and I'm pleased to say some of my work. Showing art in a domestic setting has a lovely relaxed feel with a sense of discovery in each room rather it being presented to you in a formal gallery setting.

Palace Art Fair 2013

This year's Palace Art Fair at Fulham Palace runs from 17 - 19 May and I'm delighted to be represented by Duckett & Jeffreys Gallery, who will be showing work influenced and informed by living in or travelling through the landscape. They will also be showing work by Andy Black, Andrew Tyzack, Stef and Ian Mitchell.

Sculpture Commission for The Alpina Hotel Gstaad completed

 We recently completed a commission to create an edition of 52 wall sculptures for the luxury Alpina Hotel in Gstaad, Switzerland, which opened last week. The sculptures from the 'Above us the Trees' series were made in steel which we rusted, then waxed and burnished. 

A succesful event for East Cheshire Hospice

Winter Journey IV

I am delighted to have sold 5 paintings (including these) at the East Cheshire Hospice Art Fair last week, which is great news. The Fair is organised by volunteers and 30% of sales goes the Hospice Charity.
