Upcoming Exhibition: An Unofficial Alumni

We were all incredibly pleased with the way the exhibition came together (and would still be very thankful to any more visitors to the show).

My artwork features in this month’s issue of ‘Now Then’

My artwork features in this month’s issue of Now Then, an independent magazine centered on the Sheffield area. I am pleased to have my work featured in this magazine, as I have great admiration of it and its impact in the Sheffield area; it being an incredibly refreshing (free!) magazine, and which more often thanContinue reading “My artwork features in this month’s issue of ‘Now Then’”
