It was during lockdown in 2021 that I was first inspired to work from some of the fabulous dance photographs taken of Northern Ballet  productions and when I engaged in an online conversation  with principal dancer, Hannah Bateman. This led to an amazing opportunity in February 2022 to  attend Northern Ballet studios, just a five minute walk from my studio in Leeds to observe first hand the dancers as they rehearsed  for their forthcoming production, ’Casanova’ produced by choreographer, Kenneth Tindall. 

The final works resulting from this collaboration were then displayed in a solo exhibition, ‘Dance, Joy, Connect’ at ‘Coles Gallery’ in the Leeds Corn Exchange which ran concurrently with the Casanova production by Northern Ballet at Leeds Grand Theatre, from Thursday 10th March until the first week in April 2022.

The above images include paintings, prints and iPad drawings which I made in
response to these visits and also to the photography of Caroline Holden and
Emma  Kauldhar.

All of the iPad drawings are available on request as individual giclee prints on high quality archival, acid free
300gsm paper, signed and dated by the artist.

The giclee prints come in three sizes, A4, A3 and A2. Prices
are £60, £80 and £125. plus p+p

The paintings and mono prints are available through the shop on my website.
