This summer is going to be a bit different and a whole lot more personal. I am absolutely thrilled to announce that for the very first time I will be opening the doors of my home studio to the public as part of Carshalton Artists Open Studios 2026 CAOS.
It is a bit like a "backstage pass" to my creative world and I cannot wait to welcome you in!
Discover your local artists
This year is particularly special because it marks the 10 year anniversary of the CAOS trail. What started as a local initiative has grown into a massive celebration of culture featuring 29 different locations and over 80 talented artists. It is the perfect opportunity to meet local creators and explore the vibrant art community right here in Carshalton.
Where to find me
If you are following the trail you can find me at Location 20 situated near Carshalton Beeches. Whether you are a long time collector or just curious about how a painting comes together I would love for you to stop by and say hello.
What is happening in the studio?
I have been busy preparing a variety of pieces for you to browse including:
- Originals on display: Browse through my latest collection of original hand painted pieces. These are beautifully presented in frames by the one and only The Frame Shed ensuring they are gallery ready for your walls.
- The London collection: I will have my full range of prints on display featuring more than 200 locations around London. It is a great chance to find a print of your favorite local spot or a unique gift.
- Live painting: I will be painting live on site throughout the event! You will get a behind the scenes glimpse into my painting process.
Mark your calendars
The studio will be open across two weekends this summer:
- Saturday and Sunday June 27 and 28
- Saturday and Sunday July 4 and 5
I cannot wait to share my creative space with you and celebrate CAOS' 10 year anniversary. See you in the studio! More details soon.
