Tonight I’m at The Minerva Theatre Chichester, viewing The National Open Art Competition. This is the evening of the Artists private view. I have one of my Poundbury series of works among the selected entries. As I enter the show I immediately spy my image sitting between two larger pieces of work. This placing could have made it appear rather diminutive in scale but the curation of this show in which there is a great variety of works is so successfully executed that each one shines and stands its own ground. Thanks @ TNOAC for a great evening. All images are for sale on the online gallery; Image of the show HERE 1st November 2011

Another private view: this time for The London Group’s biennial show at The Cello Factory in London. A packed evening where I met fellow artists that had been at The Bristol artist’s party the week before. The Cello Factory is a great space with a gallery around the room to be climbed up into where more work can be viewed. It also gives a different perspective on the work below. Delighted again to see one of my images on the wall amongst such accomplished work. Even more surprised to be awarded The Bird and Davis Student prize. I had no idea about this as the awards were only judged earlier in the evening just before the opening of the Private View. Image of the show HERE
I’m very excited as I arrive in Bristol outside The Royal West of England Academy, (Bristol’s first art gallery) to attend the artist’s party on the eve of the 159th Autumn Exhibition. It turned out to be a very social evening and kind of surreal to be seated at tables in the middle of a large gallery hung with the most diverse art. None of the work could be defined by its process; there were many times I was surprised to find what I was admiring were in fact photographs and so many lifelike oil paintings that captured the very essence of reality. A truly inspiring collection and amongst all this work I was proud and humbled to see one of my Poundbury images. Image of the show HERE
Private View this evening for London Independent Photography’s annual exhibition: As usual a very enjoyable evening catching up with those I haven’t seen for a while and great to see such a wide range of photography on the walls of The Strand Gallery, (including two of mine!).

Induction week at The University of Arts London in preparation for the commencement of my PhD-very nervous but excited. It turned out to be a very informative and stimulating week; came home very tired, my head buzzing with new ideas and concepts for research.
