A new opportunity at 'Marvellous Art Gallery' July 2019
New gallery opens in Leicester's Belvoir Street, the 'Marvellous Art Gallery' which will now be showcasing my work! Owner Marvin Daika wants to bring exhibitions and events to the gallery. He is currently showing the work of famous artist Paul Wright with a large oil painting of the late LCFC chairman, Khun Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha in the window and his son Aiyawatt which hangs inside. Marvin wanted to open his own gallery, but thought it would be impossible. "I used to run a shipping company but got tired of it," he says.
Offering something 'fresh and different' he's showcasing the work of local artists in a unit transformed into a creative space. Come look inside or visit the website by clicking on the following link: https://www.marvellousartgallery.co.uk
Here are my latest two New York oil paintings showcasing at 'Marvellous.'

The Cank Street Gallery closes in June 2019
I have been deeply saddened to hear the news of the closure of The Cank Street Gallery, 'the largest independent art gallery in Leicester.' Owner Dayle Flude and her team gave myself and many local artists the opportunity to exhibit our work, offering support and advice and giving us credibility to be in her gallery. We all became part of a 'family', which I'll surely miss.
I don't think the Leicester art community will ever recapture that sort of atmosphere again and it's very sad walking past that area of town. Just as the Leicester Mercury describes it, "it's hard to imagine now the art landscape of Leicester without them" and "Leicester will be a visually poorer place without this gallery."
A huge thanks to Dayle and her team for their tireless work and efforts to support us creatives!

Mingling with celebs at Fashion Awards Night
TV presenter and art collector Anne Davies invited me to the East Midlands Fashion Awards 2018. Anne and co-host fashion expert Patrick Grant joined us to watch paralympian Richard Whitehead and BBC’s Lucy Martin take to the catwalk amongst the professional models. I bumped into a few famous faces!
An atmospheric backdrop of theatrical lighting took place in
the magnificent setting of St.Mary’s Church, Nottingham, an excellent venue to convey the
amazing talent of our Universities.
Money raised was donated to Rainbows Hospice.
