Just delivered some new work to the Old Lock Up gallery in Cromford. On the left is my favourite piece, Path below the Plough as I’m loving sculpting the landscape in copper, as well as the trees.

On my way I passed this traction engine outside Amy’s cafe. Without doubt the coolest way to go out for coffee!

I don’t always pose with red wine, but when I do it’s because I’ve popped into @theoldlockupgallery for the launch of The Journey exhibition, open throughout October.

Some really lovely art, and great artists - awesome to have my work alongside them!

Three paintings. One journey! 💗

Absolutely delighted to have three paintings from my ongoing Lucky? series selected for The Journey at The Old Lock Up Gallery!

Inspired by the men I encountered in Málaga, the series explores movement, labour, visibility and the very different experiences of people sharing the same landscape.

And the question remains… Lucky?
