Portfolio.
Award Winning Artist!
As a self-taught, emerging artist, I like to enter competitions and enter open calls and I often exhibit in group exhibitions throughout the year, all around the UK, however, I also have artworks on display in Mercia Fine Art Gallery in Winchcombe too. I joined the gallery in 2025 and it's fantastic, as an emerging artist, to be represented by a wonderful gallery, amongst world renowned artists. I am always open to be represented by other galleries, so if you are interested in representing me too, please email me on: dodonsdoodles@gmail.com
Thank you.

Follow me down the path, past the boat, down to the sea. There are people there already, looking through the shingle, so let's join them, who knows what 'treasure ' we will find; shells, driftwood or hopefully some sea glass...
