Northumberland: Wish you were here...

The progression of a body of work exploring the North East... 

I am making trips to places in the Northeast that are special to the local community. I have gathered locations through public suggestions that will serve as the inspiration for this series of paintings. It is easy to overlook what you have, but in the paintings, I intend to highlight the beauty of the everyday local experience through local collaboration and a love of painting. 

Once completed, the work will be shown alongside a gallery 'postbox' where local visitors can send picture cards to friends far away, to spread the appreciation of the Northeast and everything it offers.
