First Exhibitions

My first solo exhibition ran 3 to 29 Jun 2009 at the Lyceum Theatre. I became accustomed to finding local places to exhibit. I made contact with the art shop 'The Cubby Hole' and with the benefit of the great force for local arts, Carol Wilkinson, has many exhibitions there. I entered art competitions whenever practical. Between 2007 and 2011 I took part in 60 group exhibitions, plus 5 solo exhibitions.

In 2011 I took part in my first art festival, Nantwich Festival of Arts. The organiser, Lindsey Piper, started a weekly art group and I joined the small band of artists there, remaining in my first group too until the end of 2012.
