December Buzz

It is really all very exciting at the moment, all the hard work and long hours are paying off and many fantastic opportunities are arising.

I am currently working with a number of interior designers who commission art for client’s interiors and have done a funky abstract New York skyline called ‘Manhattan Celebration’.


The interior designer, Janice Dalton was searching and searching for a particular painting but then decided to commission a piece of art by Joanna Gilbert. The painting is loved by the owner who very kindly leant it back to me for my recent exhibition at HJA solicitors.

This month also saw the big meet with Duncan Bannatyne. Completely in awe of being in the presence of someone so successful and inspiring, I somehow managed to keep my cool and present him ‘Mr Super Ice’. It was received very well and as I later found out via twitter, his wife loves it also!

I have visited his hotel in hastings to identify areas in need of artwork. And am creating concepts to present back to the big man himself shortly!


Finally I am embarking on a great journey with the wonderful commercial interior designer – Sarah Jones – from Grey Interiors Ltd. I have been chosen as one of their top artists to provide bespoke art commissions for company interiors and offices. More to follow on this exciting venture soon! But the below paintings are some sample canvases I painted for one of their clients.
