Artweeks 2019, Priceless



It was my pleasure to exhibit alongside resident and associate members of the Magdalen Road Studios in 2019, 4th-12th May as part of Oxford Artweeks. The working title "Priceless" was chosen as a theme for a non-selling exhibition, meaning we all had to dream up reasons why our works were eligible and for a variety of reasons they were.

Political Freedom is "Priceless"
The idea came from my sketchbook
I tried to maintain its original qualities
transferring watercolour into oil.
Regime Change, 2019
Framed theatrically in gold
it looked rather smart.
