Comfort

This photo is currently on show at the South London Women Artists’ exhibition at Bankside Gallery (next to Tate Modern),  until Monday, 7 May. As it’s such a wet Bank Holiday, perhaps the public will pop in for shelter, for art and even a little comfort. On Sunday at 3pm at Bankside I’ll be doing stand-up poetry with Pia Randall-Goddard and Helen Adie (together we comprise Three Sheets In The Wind). All welcome.

Prize winner!

I entered this photo to the Bicentenary Friends’ Exhibition at Dulwich Picture Gallery (England’s oldest public gallery, designed by the incomparable Sir John Soane) and it won a prize!  The photo is of a gentleman called Hilroy, known to his friends as Honey.  After the photo appeared on a website a few years ago, I was contacted by the family. I learned that Hilroy had died shortly after I photographed him.  I also discovered what a fine man he was… artist, musician, carpenter and style icon.  To read about the exhibition, click on:
