A major project for 2017 into 2018 is to work as Artist in Residence with Devon Wildlife Trust in order to draw attention to their great work and, in particular, to highlight the 50 or so nature reserves they manage. Much of the work, therefore, will be landscape rather than wildlife, but I have enjoyed producing a few smaller pieces based mainly on birds I have encountered on my travels and these formed the basis of my show at the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital earlier tis year. No doubt I will produce some more wildlife work as the project develops but I really want to capture the essence of some of the amazing sites managed by the Trust which range from coastal sand dunes to the moors and will include waterways, meadows, quarries and woodland.

A great fun day for all ages organised by Exeter University's Arts and Culture Department. Ably assisted by daughters Charlotte & Lily and girlfriend Jen, I provided blank cards with pre-printed designs and coloured inks enabling the participants to design their own coloured flying insect cards. 

I'm delighted that my photograph 'Penguins' was selected for the Observatory open show at Exeter University.
