The Old Lock Up Gallery, 19 The Hill, Swifts Hollow, Cromford DE4 3RF

I’m thrilled that two of my paintings have been selected for this year’s OPEN 26 Exhibition at The Old Lock Up Gallery, located on the edge of the stunning Peak District National Park, Derbyshire. Set in the historic village of Cromford, the gallery is housed in a beautiful 18th-century cottage. Traces Through the Landscape #1 and #2 respond to the vast openness and rich colours of the Peak District, using oil and cold wax with drawing tools to create abstracted landscapes.
