I am looking for new and exciting work to produce, and therefore have ideas for projects in the future. I am inspired greatly by this subject of the sea, as there is something new always to observe and capture, with new challenges and new creations!
In this section of my website will include details of up and coming exhibitions, where I am living etc., and so will provide information.
I will be in Macedonia for this period, and of course will be possible to contact me via email.

In Croatia I will be part of a painting colony there, which I am sure will be beautiful as it will be on an island. The painting colonies I have been a part of in the recent past have been superb, a chance to meet and work alongside other artists from other countries, plus the hospitality I received in the Bitola (Macedonia) and Buljarica (Montenegro) colonies was the best a person could wish for. In return for the hospitality the artist is required to produce X amount of paintings as a sort of payment, with all materials payed for, which is fanastic! They are a real pleasure to be a part of, and there usually follows an esxhibition at some point of the colony if previous experience is anything to go by…

It has been discussed to make another exhibition in Galleria Micro in Torino. The subject of course will be the sea, and I am now working on the next concept for this exhibition…which I hope this time will include some other elements. It is in the early stages, and so will see if it will work or not, in any case, there will be seas…
There are also a number of my paintings in the gallery.
(I am no longer exhibiting with this gallery (Galleria Micro) as from the date that is written above)
November 2010 – January 2011
In Pontypool Museum, Pontypool, and St. Davids Centre Cardiff, both in South Wales, I will exhibit seascapes over the Christmas period. Also in Oriel-y-felin, St. Davids Pembrokeshire, there will be a number of my paintings for sale in their Gallery.
I am in South Wales until January 2011, and at some point will return to Macedonia in January via Italy. I go via Italy to collect the 4.5 metre seascape I have in storage there to take to Montenegro maybe. The painting is for sale, and so any queries please contact me. It is called Illumination (influences west wales) which you can see on my page of seascapes.

I will return back to Wales for approx 2 months. I should have 1 or 2 new UK galleries with an interest to show my work, I will post here when I have something concrete. Also a new gallery interest in Italy…
October 2011
I have just returned to Macedonia after 4 months in Wales. It has been an interesting time, alot learned. I have been investing time in sketching with oils on panels and canvas, to put them for sale. They are small, varying in sizes, but are nice little originals. I made the trip I planned to the Outer Hebredes in Scotland, was excellent and found interesting material for future works, plus also a new prospective gallery in Inverness who look forward to some works in May next year.
New gallery in Swansea, S.Wales, the Nick Holly Studio Gallery.
In St. Davids Hall, Cardiff, S.Wales, I have 2 pieces there from November 11 I believe
New works in Oriel Y Felin, Pembs.
New works also in Torino , Piazza Castello. New gallery
There may be some news for Skopje too, should be looking into an option soon for a possible exhibition space.
There may also be a possibility for Liverpool, England too.
The Celtic Warehouse, Abergavenny hosts a collection of small originals.
Am in the process to open pay pal, and have began to produce limited edition canvas prints. great quality canvas, professional finish.
Its been a busy time, but alot achieved I am happy to say.
Jan 2012
New exhibition coming up in Li Kafe, Skopje. That will be March 10th hopefully, still needs the final confirmation.
Paypal up and running.
Contacted Inverness gallery, and hope in May to send something up for them to put in their summer show in June.
Celtic Warehouse didn’t work out for my work style and type.
Off the wall gallery in Llandaff, Cardiff now hosts my paintings, and at this point of writing (Jan 13) they have 3 large originals, a number of small paintings and 2 prints.
There should be an exhibition coming up in Montenegro in July this year, maybe August, need to confirm that one.
Have been producing seascape sketches also. Small works on panel.
