Lingfield Point Art Project & The Festival of Thrift

I've been working on a 3 month artist residency at Lingfield Point, Darlington supported by Navigator North.
 

I was asked to do an exhibition at The Festival of Thrift which is on 21st & 22nd of September at Lingfield Point where I will be exhibiting paintings but also show the work that I've been working on as part of the artist residency project.

This is my studio at Lingfield Point.

I have a blog about the project which you can find

Journey

This is the magazine cover that I recently completed for Hawker Beechcraft's new lifestyle magazine Journey.

Not only did I get the opportunity to creat the front cover I also produced four small portraits which appeared inside the magazine.

The magazine was launched at the end of May at the Ebace convention in Geneva.

You can see the magazine cover online here
The magazine was also available as an iPad edition here
