I'm an all-round fine artist providing commercially styled drawings and paintings from the Scottish School and subscribe to an independent approach to manage an informal art studio practice. Being able to share my observations with the world at large in either oils or chalk pastels and often apply watercolours to my smaller studies in monochrome pen's and pencil's. To test the nature of my abilities in these mediums I draw on inspiration from matters that are closest to the n

So, do you feel like you’re interested in Art? Do you have many questions? Are there any specific points about life you want to explore, then contact me, and make a connection. As to achieve now, is to know when to ask for help and not give up when things get difficult. People who can ask for feedback and advice are the best of all.   You never truly know what art means until you have gone public. I love being enterprising by nature and use my initiative to identify different

When a contract goes wrong,   We look at how to stop or re-negotiate a contract, which may be ended by a termination notice where one party brings the contract to an end by giving notice to the other party. Or performance where each party has completed his or her side of the bargain and nothing more remains to be done. An agreement where the parties may decide to end the contract (with or without changes) and mutually abandon their obligations. Or by breach which in this case

The following checklist revues the relationship between artists and gallery/dealers, as the artist’s profile and their sales increase, the number of exhibitions/art fairs at which they are represented and all other areas of the gallery’s work for the artist also increases (publicity, promotion, documentation etc). If an artist’s work changes direction or their output reduces, the gallery/dealer may choose to reduce the emphasis given to that artist for a period. The key to a

Researching the organisations you intend to approach is the most crucial step to creating a successful proposal, so before putting a proposal together… research, research, research! In context try to engage with an organisation’s remit to find the best fit for your project as distinct types of organisations have different approaches to programming and exhibition payment guides. Are they large, mid-scale or small? A festival, publicly funded or local authority venue? A commerc

Realising exhibitions and projects is an important strategy in the arts, with many galleries running an open submission programme, often on an annual basis, or will have a procedure for receiving proposals on their website. It is common however for larger public galleries to review applications infrequently, once a year or once every two years in some cases, which may have an impact on the scheduling of your proposed exhibition. Before you apply… Research, research, research!

In the world in general, when someone offers something – a house for sale, a job, work from a tradesperson, a proposal of marriage even – this is generally the opening gambit in a negotiation process by which what has been offered will be discussed and, in the process, either adjusted to create something of mutual benefit, or declined. But in the visual arts there is a tendency for the offer of an exhibition by a gallery to an artist to be taken at face value and either accep

As a gallerist and curator, have a go-to document for regular enquirers who approach you about exhibiting or to get some advice, because by doing your research you hone down a handful of curators/commissioners/galleries whose work you respect and think about whether it chimes with your ambitions and values. Find out who to speak to – sending an email starting ‘Dear Sir’ to a feminist curating partnership will not get you the result you hope for. Visit a range of art fairs – t
