I found out today my work “My father and Mr Cheese planting standard roses” has won the Jackson’s choice award in the @jacksons_art_prize 2025. I’m honoured.

My work will be featured at the Bankside Gallery in June as part of the award.

First painting of 2025. Going back to working on a smaller scale, 30x40cm. Using raw jute 584gsm this year moving away for the craft hessian I’ve been using for the last year and a half. A better surface with similar attributes.
