The 2011 ING DISCERNING EYE EXHIBITION
Mall Galleries London
10 – 20th November 2011


I have just had some good news. I have had one work selected for the Discerning Eye Exhibition in the Mall Galleries, London - a show of small works independently selected by six prominent figures from different areas of the art world: two artists, two collectors and two critics. My piece was selected by art critic Brian Sewell.

Work is selected from open submission and from artists invited by the individual selectors. Each selector's section is hung separately giving the impression of six small exhibitions within the whole.

The exhibition provides an unusual opportunity for works by lesser-known artists to be hung alongside contributions from internationally recognised names. The selectors are solely responsible for their own selection; selection is not by committee.

ENCOUNTERS WITH EVENT
Threshold Artspace,Perth Theatre

Monday 7th March - Thursday 16th June 2011


I was delighted to be selected to participate in this event showing two paintings.

The exhibition formed part of a collaboration last December between the Scottish Crannog Centre and PVAF - a unique Fire and ice Festival, which celebrated mid Winter through artwork, workshops and story-telling. The event included a selected exhibition of work by PVAF members relating to the Festival's Fire and Ice theme and location. This exciting, eclectic exhibition of 19 professional members was curated by Sarah Yearsley

'Encounters with Event' is the first in a series of three PVAF exhibitions happening at Threshold Artspace through 2011; the others, Encounters with Time and Encounters with Place will take place later in the year.
