The German 'Jazz Podium' magazine, as old as myself, features in their October issue my report and photos from the 2019 Love Supreme Festival. Very pleased with that.

A successful sale of unique artist postcards has just been completed by the http://devonshirecollective.co.uk raising money for the collective and participating artists. Great reception by the public, and I'm very pleased with the sale of a moody tulip still-life.
A number of my portraits of authors, artists and actors has been published in the April edition of http://www.vivamagazines.com along with an interview with Lizzie Lower.
After a successful 2017 Charleston Festival I have started to include new portraits of authors and performers, including Richard Ford, Vanessa Redgrave and the ballerina Tamara Rojo.
This May I 'm looking back over 10 years of coverage of this iconic literary festival. I will exhibit images from 2007 to today in the entrance to the festival tent and the tea tent in the Orchard. The line-up of the speakers is again exciting and I'm looking forward in particular to Richard Ford, Stephen Hawking and the reading of Vanessa Bell's letters by Vanessa Redgrave.
