Here I am in my art studio, otherwise you will find me downstairs in my art gallery …
I first came to Hay in the late 70’s and it has felt like home ever since despite not returning to live here permanently until 2008. My early career was spent in television and films in London and then in the early noughties I opened my first art gallery in Ripley, Surrey alongside my very popular NEAC art workshops. Moving to a smallholding, just outside Hay, meant leaving my gallery days behind me but in 2014, whilst walking for six weeks on the Camino to Santiago in Northern Spain, I resolved that I would open my doors once again to the art world and to my own creativity.
I hold eleven exhibitions a year showing local artists from in and around The Marches and other artists who will work with my curated house style. Often the paintings from these exhibitions will remain with me and I hang them upstairs in the Atelier for my guests to enjoy.
Since 2006 I have practised as an Energy Healer and I hold regular Gong Baths in my hall on the outskirts of Hay and I would be very happy to offer you a private Gong Bath whilst you are staying.
My Heart of Hay healing retreats at The Atelier offer a sanctuary to explore your own creative pathways and can be tailored to meet your individual needs so please enquire if you are interested.
