Invite to Visit my new exhibition Views from The Derwent Valley, at Cromford Mill plus Illustrated talk.

Well I can hardly believe that after two years I am at the end of my Derwent Valley series it’s been a great project to take on and has given me many opportunities, an artist can never know what path they will turn down next it’s the beauty of being creative. I have learnt so much about my local area and I even have the exciting prospect of learning more and teaching more with Fleet Arts and Derwent Wise in the coming months.

You can see the finished series in full at

The Gallery, Cromford Mill
