I was over the moon to join 12,000 others on this year's Royal Academy Summer Exhibition 'rejects' pile, as I now get to exhibit in REJECTS curated by Shona Bland from Art Friend. I love the ethos as it challenges the status quo and she is a fabulously supportive curator and gallerist who will be showcasing some of the best works that weren't selected. Plus, you now get to decide; Did the judges make the right decision? Art is subjective after all. Why not go to both shows to see for yourself.

Preview Thursday 4 July: 5pm - 10pm
Preview Friday 5 July: 12pm - 9pm 
Monday 8 July - Friday 12 July: 12pm - 7pm
Saturday 6 & 13 July: 11am - 5pm
Sunday 7 July: 11am - 5pm
Sunday 14 July: 11am - 4pm
 

There are a number of special events and talks taking place throughout the exhibition including Art, Yoga, Brunch, 'Knowing you worth as an artist' and That Portrait Club. Visit the Art Friend website for more information and tickets.

And if you want to come and have a chat about my work, I'll be there on Tuesday 9 July from 6.30pm.
