The Lockdown Hare was created during 2020 whilst in lockdown, it came about as we watched the wildlife playing as we in effect were locked down in the pandemic. It’s a play on words, a framed scenario of circumstances. Drawn using a dip pen and inks with a watercolour wash. 30 cm x 40 cms framed. The collection of drawings being shown are a representation take on all forms of wildlife in a variety of styles and mediums. I have been a member of the Association of Animal Artists for a few years, this is the first opportunity I have had to join in with their exhibition.

Spring Exhibition 2021

The past year has been a difficult one as it has been for many, with little travel it seems to have been a long year. Taking part in exhibitions gives me the opportunity to focus on new works…. a much needed therapy in these difficult times.

2020 is at the beginning of the year which hopefully is going to be fabulous. I have lots of ideas floating around with new drawings of a different style alongside some new maps. Connecting with nature, the past and present making our journey memorable with our #memorymaps of which I usually add one or two more each year as we discover new waterways. 2019 saw the London Waterways Map come into print, this year we are hoping to travel down the Oxford Canal and onto the Thames during the summer, thus making our way once more through London.

The new maps will have a Steampunk twist to them, alongside some steampunk birds which have already begun to take a little shape. The journey continues to take its twist and turns just like it has done from the beginning.

We hope to see you along the way once our plans which often are quite loose plans, come into being.

We love to meet the boats we read about.
