Forthcoming Exhibition
Building on the work I had published in 'Shropshire Life', I have secured an exhibition at Dorothy Clive Gardens which will run from 7th June for two weeks.
22 April 2010.
My first full feature published in Shropshire Life magazine today. They have used ten of my pictures for a feature on Dorothy Clive Gardens. Hopefully this will count towards me becoming a full member of the Professional Garden Photographers Association and Garden Media Guild. Onward and upward (hopefully!)

Just heard that one of my images of Magnolia acuminata 'Koban Dori' has been selected to go forward into the Three Counties Open Photographic exhibition at Keele University.

Another excellent weekend workshop with Andrea Jones. This time it was based at Andrea's home in Ayrshire. Andrea made sure there was no slacking as we had to be up early to catch the morning light. Most of Saturday was spent photographing at two splendid gardens near Stranraer. The first was Castle Kennedy gardens from which we moved on to Logan Botanical gardens. On Sunday morning we went on a walk up the nearby hills to photograph the beautiful wildflowers and then in the afternoon we had a review of everyone's work.I have set up a gallery page to show some examples of the pictures I took. Thanks to Andrea, Alasdair, Graeme and Stuart for their support and encouragement. A brilliant weekend!

I have been very busy over the last few weeks preparing work for a very exciting venture. I have been talking to the lovely people at Weston Park, a fabulous stately home on the Shropshire / Staffordshire border (http://www.weston-park.com)
I approached them some weeks ago to see if they would be interested in selling some of my work through their shop. After a meeting and an opportunity to show them some framed pieces they showed me a building on site which was being renovated with the intention of housing a food shop (selling locally sourced and fairtrade / organic goods) and an exhibition gallery. The Granary is a fantastic building and is due to open to the public on Good Friday (10th April). Between the food hall on the ground floor and the gallery above is a large mezzanine floor which will have tables and chairs so that visitors can grab a coffee. Weston Park have offered me all three walls on which to display my work for sale, around 30 pieces in all. I am delighted to have been given such a tremendous opportunity!

I have been contacted by WiRE (Women in Rural Enterprise)who asked if they could use one of my images for their forthcoming annual conference. My picture 'Pink Tulips' is to be used on posters and their website to promote this event, the theme of which is 'Thrive and Grow'

I went along to the Preview evening of the Three Counties Open Photographic Exhibition this evening and to my absolute delight and suprise my image won the 'Shropshire Life Magazine ' category! My image is to be used for the magazine's front cover later on in the year.
