Time to celebrate: 'Fiesta' an ArtCan group show will open today for an exhibition that promises to be vibrant, varied and fun. I will be showing 'When We Dance'. The exhibition runs 3-14 July at Inky Fingers Gallery in trendy Hackney Wick. . . . #artcanorg #artexhibition #arthshowlondon #groupexhibition #artinlondon #londonexhitions #hackneywick #artcanartists #talentedartists #dalston #contemporaryartlondon #inkyfingers #artinhackneywick #eastlondon #eastlondonart

Who doesn’t love playing around with Sgraffito - somehow it’s very satisfying. Here I have painted over an older piece which had a black background and some pink and yellow collage bits. Instead of drawing lines, I am slowly scratching them out revealing earlier layers. It’s a fun way to make marks. You’ve got to be careful not to degrade the canvas too much; here I might be a little vigorous. This one is quite a sturdy one, so no damage done to the cotton. . . . #sgraffito #painting #paintingabstract #paintingprocess #markmaking #collageart #artiststudio #artinthemaking #artistatwork #artreel #artreels #makingart #markmaking

At the moment I am casting a critical eye on older pieces that don't quite convince me anymore. You can only paint to the best of your abilities but your abilities change all the time so older work can sometimes do with a bit of an uplift. This piece has a little bit of a nostalgic quality to it, maybe to do with the soft palette of grey blues and pinks. I like its tenderness. Swipe for close ups of the painting.

I am really very happy with this new piece. There is a lovely playful element to the work. It started out as a completely different idea but, as is so often the case, the painting had a mind of its own and encouraged me to go along with and enjoy the unfolding process.

I absolutely love getting photos of the new homes that my paintings live in. ‘Planting Seeds’ went to a lovely art collector in Northern Ireland. I think it looks wonderful on this wall surrounded by these beautiful landscape pieces. Many thanks to Andrew for appreciating my work. It makes all the difference. . . . #artcollector #artlover #artappreciation #artlove #artcollecting #contemporaryartcollector #fineartcollector #artcollection #artinsitu #originalfineart #affordableart

Back at work after my fabulous holiday in Japan. I am just finishing off pieces I started before the holiday before I allow myself to somehow translate some of the new sights I experienced into work on canvas. This little garden piece is a bit of freshness after a rainy day. 40cm x 40cm, pigments, acrylic, ink, paper and pencil on canvas. Available now, framed or unframed.

I am really pleased to have a piece of work selected again as part of Tarpey Gallery’s annual summer exhibition.

Hard to describe the extraordinary experience that is teamLab Borderless in Tokyo. A series of immersive rooms filled with wondrous and ever changing screens of flowers, plants, rocks, waterfalls and imaginary creatures. This is a tiny segment of screen that fills the room on each wall. Each room was different yet interconnected. You can wander around all day and still discover something new. Art that is in constant flux. You leave a room, return, and it is completely different. Each view is unique and ever changing. There were quite a few head spinning infinity rooms too. I never thought I could love digital art so much. . . . #teamlab #teamlabtokyo #teamlabborderless #digitalart #artintokyo #internationalart #artlover #amazingart #arttokyo #tokyoart
