Here is a small selection of my smaller paintings, not quite miniature at 10cm sq. These are very affordable and a great way to own a piece of original art! You can view these and more here:

These mini pomegranate, ornamental, trinket dishes are available again. Hand made and handpainted I make these in batches of three as the are quite time consuming but worth it as they are so unique

Relate to so much in this video. Made me cry #T1D #Diabetes #Type1 Please watch to gain a little understanding 🙏

This made me a little sad but a very real reflection of life with T1D that all of us, I am sure, can relate to.

Hi everyone. I see all your wonderful #januarty2025 work and would like to join you all, better late than never. So today's word is texture? I have a sculptural work, a Green man or Dryad, which has textures of bark, lichen and moss. A very tactile piece.

@cfraserbbc.bsky.social Hi Christian, hope you don’t mind me posting a link about a BBC journalist Sean Tilley and his horrific experiences of being turned away from establishments as he has a guide dog. So upsetting. Maybe a story you could feature in The Context. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
