This commission for a private customer was a delight to make. My clients wanted a mosaic for their wall outside their house. After initial discussions by email and a site visit I made three drawings and they chose this one. As my clients didn’t want very strong or bright colours I chose to use stained…
Listening to the radio today it came to my attention that it is Ella Fitzgerald’s centenary ! In a couple of weeks on 25 April she would have been 100 years old if she was still alive! Known as the Queen of Jazz, her version of Gershwin’s song “Summertime” has to be one of my favourite…
I have various different projects on the go at the moment…a large commission, bird baths for the Bishops Palace garden festival in June and some new work for an exhibition at Glastonbury Abbey in September. All exciting stuff that is keeping my left and right brain buzzing and pinging. During the in-between times I like…
In the valley below the hill where I live there is a small village with a leat running along the edge of the fields and opposite a row of old and pretty cottages. There are often ducks on the leat and once I saw a very raggedy looking heron trying to catch a fish, but…

My doves have returned from their Greek Odyssey to Athens and Mykonos and are home to roost. However they are looking for a good home as I don’t have much room here for them. You can see lots of photos of them and purchase them in my shop 🙂 Save Save
I’m on starlings again! During the two weeks of Somerset Art Weeks I set up a temporary studio at the Somerset Crafts gallery. Whilst I was there I made 8 starlings. I wondered how long it would be before the starlings returned from Scandinavia, Germany or the Netherlands (according to the BBC nature website the…
Two weeks ago I returned from Athens from the Mosaic Odysseys exhibition which has now moved onto Mykonos. Being in Greece was an inspiring experience, I climbed the Acropolis and Lykavittos Hill and even though there were crowds of people around me, I still felt a connection with the ancient Greeks and I was in…
Mosaic Odysseys Festival moving on to Athens and Mykonos The first exhibition for the Mosaic Odysseys Festival at the Hellenic Centre in London was a great success. We had a lot of visitors and several sales. After selling my works “The Whirlwind That Takes Me There” , “The Enchanter“,and “The Four Winds“, I decided to…
This was my third piece for the Mosaic Odysseys festival. I love the story of the four winds in Homer’s Odyssey. Aeolus, keeper of the winds gave Odysseus a bag of wind bound up with silver thread to help him on his journey. He stored it safely on the ship and at first it was…
This is the second piece I made for the Mosaic Odysseys festival. I don’t think it needs much explanation except that I see the sun as an enchanter…always luring me towards him. And how enchanting he always is, how beautiful he colours the sky when he rises and sets. I want to bask in his light and feel his warmth…
The Whirlwind That Takes Me There I’ve been making some new work in the last few months for a festival of mosaic art involving 6 Greek and 4 other UK mosaic artists. We aim to promote a cultural exchange between Greek and British mosaic artists in order to develop friendships and a professional network between…
