After 40 years in the art world, I've decided to 'take my foot off the gas' a little.

I love painting and drawing more than ever, but the daily demands of client commissions and running two galleries has made me realise that now is the time to take it a little more easy!

And the timing is just right, as the lease on our lovely Grey Street Gallery in Newcastle is due to run out in a few months.

So it is with a heavy heart that I've decided to close our Newcastle operation when the lease ends - however our Glasgow Gallery will be open for a long time to come.

Although we won't close the Newcastle Gallery until the end of July, I'd like to thank Deanna, Billy and Tom for making our Grey Street Gallery such a success and also to thank Naomi and Rebecca in Glasgow for supporting our Newcastle operation.

To mark my semi-retirement, I've decided to offer collectors of my artwork some extraordinary savings on original oil paintings and pencil drawings as well as savings on signed, limited edition prints.

These offers are available online and in both my galleries, in Newcastle and in Glasgow with savings of 15% to 50%.

Of course, I'll still be around - visiting our Glasgow Gallery regularly and occasionally organising smaller exhibitions and pop-ups around the country.

And you’ll still find me in my regular cafes in Newcastle, sitting in the corner with a coffee, making sketches of the characters in the world around us.
