1st May: The Salisbury Giant commission.
This commission was a fun collaboration with my artist wife Lynn Parr, as we joined forces to create the giant Jubilee May Queen and the Salisbury Corgi, for the huge festival in the grounds of Salisbury Cathedral on the 1st May 2012. The GIANT is now available to view in the Guildhall Salisbury. Thank you to everyone who came on the day to help and all those fantastic decorated diamonds and squares which made the project so special.
2012 is going to be a fantastic year for sport as well as the Arts. As one of 'BT's 'Art of Sport' artists there are some great events coming up: This will be the first time to be able to view and buy some amazing art produced by some of the UK's top artists.
