I was incredibly thrilled to be selected for the Royal Academy Summer Show this year! The works were selected by coordinator Yinka Shonibare and a panel of artists, under the theme of ‘Reclaiming Magic’. Yinka Shonibare is an amazing artist, and I was particularly pleased to have my assemblage in room 3, where he selected all the work. It’s a wonderful show, and I don’t think I’m being biased here.

This is my piece ‘Summer Step’, a plywood assemblage acrylic painting, now sold!

‘Varnishing Day’, a lovely warm atmosphere with much celebration, fizz and fancy nibbles.

I returned to see the red sticker on my work, with my brother James.
