Surrey Artists Open Studios Wrap Up

It was a lot of fun exhibiting alongside my son for this summer’s Surrey Artists Open Studios, and wonderful to go through the process of selecting images, printing and editing for the exhibition with him. The full circle of photography if you will. Visit my website to read a short recap and keep an eye out for what we might get up to next with the exhibited images… (there’s a hint later on in this newsletter)

// One Image

Rhosneigr Rainbow, 2022. A small rainbow appears over the dunes, caravans and homes just south of Rhosneigr, Ynys Môn.

I was having dinner with my family at a restaurant just outside Rhosneigr when I decided to stretch my legs in between courses. As a I looked out over the dunes I saw these two children stepping into the marram grass as a small rainbow appeared overhead.

Read more about the making of this image on my website.

I’ve also made it available as a print in my shop.

   It’s distressing to see so many friends struggling emotionally and financially at the moment. We must keep talking to one another — it’s such a comfort to simply know you’re not alone.

I was not paid for any content in this newsletter.

About me:

I am a photographer and writer available for commissions based near Farnham, Surrey, in south east England, just 45 minutes from London. I also regularly work in North Wales. 

My more recent work explores personal connections to place, the land and natural environment, how each of those, and the connections between them, are changing. 

In 2017 my ongoing project on people of North Welsh heritage in the northeast US was exhibited at Northern Eye Festival. I was subsequently awarded a commission from the Welsh Parliament in 2019 to make new work for exhibition around Wales in 2019-20. 

You can find out more on my website here.
