Next! Inception at Dalkeith

It is spring and Art Fair season is in full flow. Thank you to everyone who came to Borders Art Fair (BAF), it was lovely to see you, and an especially warm thanks to everyone who supported Rebekah (my co-exhibitor) and myself by collecting a piece of art.

BAF do a lot of activities around the exhibition including recorded demonstrations and workshops by some of their finest artists, including me! You will find me talking about the artistic process, the evolution of ideas and how I produce my graphite and beeswax drawings. The video is still available.

Inception Art Show

Next up: JOIN ME AT INCEPTION ART SHOW || The exhibition returns to Dalkeith Palace from 4th – 14th May 2023. This year offers an extended programme and beautifully curated collection of sculptors, artists, photographers and painters. Hosted by Dalkeith Country Palace, this really is an art extravaganza and could fill a whole day.

Tickets are now available for the exhibition and a spectacular Art & Supper evening with Richard Demarco, Artist-led Workshops and Curator & Palace tours.

The programme also features an online charity auction, which opens on 24th April, raising funds for Make 2nds Count, a breast cancer charity. I will be auctioning my drawing ‘Response To Rodin’.

I was asked by the Society of Scottish Artists (SSA) to produce this as a response to Rodin’s portrait head of Victor Hugo, it was exhibited alongside the original Rodin sculpture at their Annual Exhibition at the Royal Scottish Academy, Edinburgh.

It was an honour to be in such a prestigious exhibition and I am happy to be able to offer it for auction. The rest of my work can be found upstairs in The Queen’s Bedroom.

Inception is open from 10am – 4pm daily from 4th – 14th May 2023. Entrance tickets cost £3 and are now on sale. To book your tickets for the exhibition or events please visit their website. I hope to see you there!

I’d love to invite you to the evening private view on Friday 5th of May. Ensure you specify the date when you RSVP becasue there is a separate corporate event:

Inception exhibition at Dalkeith Palace

JOIN ME AT INCEPTION || An art show to be held at Dalkeith Palace from 06 – 08 May 2022.

Inception returns to Dalkeith Palace, showcasing a curated collection of contemporary artists.

The art show launched in 2021 to celebrate the re-emergence of artists after the long hiatus suffered by the creative industries during the pandemic.

Following its resounding success last year, this celebration of creativity continues to develop. For its second incarnation, Inception has invited an inspirational collection of modern and contemporary artists, sculptors, photographers and painters to share their work.

As Inception is an art sales exhibition, you will have the opportunity to purchase the artwork during the show. Entry slots are open every hour, however you are welcome to stay and enjoy the exhibition for longer after arrival. I very much look forward to welcoming you at Inception.

The show is open from 10am – 4pm on 6-8 May. Entrance tickets cost £3 and are now on sale.

Visitor parking is a short two minute walk from Dalkeith Palace. If accessible parking is required, please contact the events team who can make alternative arrangements.

You will find me in the Morning Room, a fantastic space with lots of light.

I’ll be exhibiting amongst other artists I admire, including:

  • Richard Goldsworthy
  • Walter Dalkeith

There will be a pop-up shop within the Palace where it will be possible to purchase my limited-edition prints.

All the framed original works I am showing will also be for sale. I look forward to seeing you over the exhibition weekend if you can make it.

Imagine Peace

One of my most meaningful drawings, ‘Imagine Peace’, has been made available as a limited edition print with fifty percent of profits going to the British Red Cross Ukraine Crisis appeal. These are very large and very high quality prints.
