In the absence of physical art fairs this year I’m very pleased to announce I will be participating in the very first Affordable Online Art Fair which will launch on Friday November 6, and run through to the end of the month!

The fair will bring a roster of 50 hand-picked galleries from 15 countries, each with a dedicated viewing room hosted on the Affordable Art Fair online marketplace.

You will find my work with Liberty Gallery and Smithson Gallery.

I'm pleased to announce that my latest print, The Dancing Marquess, has been selected for inclusion in this year's RWA Open, Bristol.

Now in it's 168th year the RWA Open will run from the 5th December 2020 to the 7th March 2021.

To book tickets please see the RWA Open website here.

This dynamic and varied exhibition invites painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, sculpture, installation and mixed media submissions and is a showcase of some of the most exciting artists from across the country and beyond.

All work is for sale, making the Annual Open a perfect opportunity to discover new artists or invest in well-known names.

I am pleased to have two prints in this year's Art on a Postcard Winter Auction. The event runs from the 5th to 29th November and is raising money for the Hepatitis C Trust.

My prints Ebony Rose and Dreamers are up for auction.

This auction will focus on The Hepatitis C Trust’s helpline which is staffed entirely by people who have had hepatitis C. The helpline has become a key component in the current Infected Blood Inquiry the largest public enquiry in British history, which was launched to investigate why infected blood products were being used to treat NHS patients prior to 1992.

I was recently interviewed for a new feature from Decorazon Gallery, where they explore the motivation, inspiration & background of their artists.

Below are a few extracts, but you can read the full interview in their mailout and view my updated artist page on their website.

"I feel very fortunate that I come from a creative family.
My parents' house is full of delftware, old books, broken pots and flotsam and jetsam, things salvaged off skips, and handmade gifts.
My father is a cabinet maker and I loved spending time in his workshop discovering secret drawers and compartments in the beautiful old bureaus and desks he was restoring."

"My grandmother Keyna Emerson is also a painter. She attended the Slade School of Art in London just before and just after the second world war, and continues painting, though her dream was to be a set designer. I’ve been thinking of this a lot, whilst looking through her books on set and costume design and making my own theatre maquettes."

‘Women by Women’ by the Royal Over-Seas League (ROSL) and Liberty Gallery welcomes the work of Marcelina Amelia, Rosie Emerson, Delphine Lebourgeois and Maria Rivans to Over-Seas house. ROSL occupies space in both Clubland and the Art World, two places that have historically had problematic relationships with women and inclusion, ‘Women by Women’ is inspired by the foresight of ROSL to welcome women as equal members of the club since its inception, while also supporting the arts in all its forms. ROSL is once again working with Liberty Gallery, an organisation that champions early career artists. The four artists involved capture women in their work and the exhibition highlights their different approaches and themes.

‘Women by Women’ explores a historic subject, captured in a modern way by contemporary artists.
