Update to the Gallery pages

The Gallery page of the website has been organised into separate pages, of varying themes. So far, there are pages for Winter, Tree, Macro and Monochrome photos.

Please take a look at the new layout, and also spot the photos that have been added to the gallery!

Buckhurst Hill Exhibition - Update

 Buckhurst Hill Parish Council's new Community Gallery project is now under way, with a selection of my prints currently up on display in the information centre in Queens Road!
The photography exhibition will run for the next three months, whereupon the Community Gallery will open up to a new phase of artists with links to Buckhurst Hill.

Some of the Photos currently on display, which all feature Epping Forest

I am the first artist to be selected as part of the arts project, and have chosen to grace the wall space with images from Epping Forest, one of our local treasures. Roughly half of the land in Buckhurst Hill is open space (BHPC), and the Forest contributes a large amount to this half; not only is Epping Forest beautiful, but ubiquitous here too. The name even refers to the trees: "Buckhurst"  was called La Bocherste in the 1100's (while England was under Norman control), and this earliest reference to the area means "a hill covered with beech trees" (Wikipedia). Is it any wonder that, growing up in Buckhurst Hill, I developed an abiding interest in trees?

Make it down to the Information Centre in Queens Road in the next three months to see the exhibition, including "The Lambent Pollard" and "Autumn Light and Leaf" (see these two pictures here). If you're an artist or photographer interested in getting involved in the next phase of the project, contact the Parish Council here.

Community Art Gallery in Buckhurst Hill

A chance to see some of my prints in the flesh! 

I have been invited to take part in a new project with Buckhurst Hill Parish Council, a community art gallery using the lobby wallspace at their offices in Queen's Road. I have submitted a selection of limited edition prints from the Epping Forest area for display, and they should be going up sometime this week. Find out office opening times and more at: www.essexinfo.net/buckhurst-hill-parish-council/

The Parish Council are also planning an Opening Event which will be announced soon, to formally kick off the community gallery. If successful this project will continue to offer a selection of local artists (people with links to Buckhurst Hill) the chance to display their works for a time. This will bring something new to Queen's Road, providing a venue for local people to view local artwork. 

If you know of any artists who might be interested in getting involved in the next phase they would be very welcome to get in touch with Buckhurst Hill Parish Council:
