This is your invitation to join us here in the gallery at 45 Front Street, Prudhoe, on 27th November. Only one front room will be open, as we are still working on the rest of the gallery, but we are very keen to welcome you in. I will be there all day and into the evening. There will a real buzz around Prudhoe for the switching on of the lights, so please come along to say hello.

Other major news is that China Radio International has taken an interest in my work and begun to promote me on their national radio station.

I will be in the gallery all day on Friday 27th November to welcome you. The Spechells Christmas fair starts at 3pm and there will be craft stalls, Santa, face painting and a hog roast.  The lights will be switched on at 6 and between 5 and 6 there will be complimentary mulled wine and mince pies from the Co-op - and Santa and crafts.

I look forward to seeing you in the gallery. 

I am really pleased to have been approached recently by China Radio International about my work. China's national radio station prides itself on introducing China's fine art to the rest of the world. In my case, they have approached me with a view to sharing my work within China and also with a wider international audience. My work will also be on shown on their website, alongside the radio transmission 
This is an exciting opportunity for me and I have been happy to supply the radio station with images of my paintings, a copy of my book and details of my career to date. This is a new experience for me and I am very much enjoying working with the radio station so far.

While we are finishing off the gallery, the Jiggery Pokery in Mickley has kindly offered to stock my prints, paintings and books. It's a great place to browse, with a cafe, furniture, food counters, crafts, books, antiques and much more on hand to explore. Jacqui, who runs the cafe, food and furniture areas, chose a range of prints to show and two originals, so call in and browse if you are passing or eating there.
