‘By Osmosis’ features a selection of my recent paintings, including the first public showing of my ambitious 5.1m panoramic landscape, ‘Cloudbreak’.

I have travelled to remote areas of Arctic Norway and Iceland in pursuit of the fleeting light that defines those northern landscapes. Yet more recently, I’ve become aware of how the familiar rhythms of the Cumbrian countryside that surrounds me continues to shape my imagery, often beyond conscious intention.

This will be my first local exhibition since returning home five years ago. Reimagining our traditional Lake District barn into a place to show my art feels like a homecoming, a return to the source of my earliest creative influences.

I am hosting the exhibition as part of the Visual Artists Association’s OpenSpaces 2025, a global artist-led art trail transforming unusual and everyday spaces.

Visitors will also have a chance to visit my working studio
