We never really know whats around the corner or what opportunities lie there for you!

A few weeks ago I received an email from Creative Debuts, a platform celebrating the brightest emerging artists and designers.

ACE returns for it's third show, which also marks it's first anniversary.

Once again ACE showcased some of the best and most prolific artists at the moment, featuring original works by; Angela Bell, David Bray, Adam Bridgland, Lucy Bryant, Dave Buonaguidi, Donk, Tim Fowler, Pam Glew, Sara Pope, Pure Evil, Rugman, Cosmo Sarson, Schoony, Shuby and myself.

So I was back at Jealous East Gallery,  last night for a private viewing of a group show I am thrilled to be part of titled “Face Value 2” curated by Gary Mansfield .  All proceeds going to The Katie Piper Foundation.

I met Gary a few months ago when he asked to interview me for his podcast and I was very excited when I was invited to take part in this show alongside artists like Ben Eine and the Connor Brothers to name just a few.

My solo show has now moved on to an exciting new gallery - The Viewing Room. Showing most of my recently formed 'Better Days' work. The gallery is located at Kommune, a former coop department store that has been rejuvenated into the go to spot in Sheffield. Nik and Jon, the gallery's owners, have done an amazing job in curating and getting it ready. 

During set up of my show "Better Days" I met up with the acclaimed photographer, Chris Saunders who asked if he could take my photo.

Reluctantly I agree to doing it, despite my entire show was themed around vanity and absence of important historical context. But it didn't take more than just overnight for Chris to return the next day with all of his equipment. His idea for my portrait, knowing that I am fond of exhibiting my face was to experiment with the idea of hiding my face.
