The collection was officially opened by Mick Smith (Director of Quay Arts) who highlighted the importance of contemporary artworks within such establishments.















I was overwhelmed by the reception of the works and hope they will become part of the centre's community benefiting staff and visitors alike.










The collection is made up of 25 paintings relating to the use of each space within centre drawing its inspiration from the human body and the centre's forest and coastal environment.

Art day at St Michael and All Angels CE Infant School

As part of the commission for Fenwick 2 Health and Well Being centre, I visited St Michael and All Angels CE Infant School to start the project with the pupils. I had a great day at the school, the staff were very supportive of the project and the pupils were fantastic fun. They created individual and group pieces of artwork and a sample of the results will be on show as part of the art exhibition launch at the Fenwick 2 Health and Well Being Centre in the New Forest. I have been commissioned to create a series of 2 and 3d works for installation in the centre focussing on the forest location. The art day at the school saw the start of this project, which is due to open later in the summer.
