The 500th Anniversary Sedbergh Exhibition
I recently had the privilege of having my work, And When in Days Hereafter, showcased as part of Sedbergh School’s 500th Anniversary Exhibition at Bridgewater Hall. The event, which celebrated five centuries of the school’s history, was a vibrant gathering of current students, alumni, and both current and former staff. It was truly special to see our community come together, not only to honor the school’s past but also to look forward with creativity and inspiration.

In celebration of the 150th anniversary of the birth of Impressionism, an extraordinary new exhibition has opened at Milan's Palazzo Reale.

SARDINES: The Finale
Our degree show, Sardines, has now concluded, and the deinstallation process is underway. I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who attended the opening night, which turned out to be the largest the university has seen in recent years, with over 200 people in attendance. It was incredible to witness such a tremendous turnout, affirming the value of our hard work.
SARDINES - Opening Night
The countdown is finally over - tomorrow is opening night for "SARDINES", our degree show at the University of Leeds. After months of tireless work, countless sacrifices, and more than a few headaches, we're just hours away from unveiling our labor of love to the world.
Sardines Exhibition - Coming Soon!
From the success of the "Open Bracket" exhibition, a powerful testament to what can be achieved through teamwork and sheer determination, we found ourselves embarking on an even more ambitious creative endeavor - the "Sardines" Degree Show. This would be the final showcase for our Bachelor's of Fine Art program, and the road ahead looked to be paved with unprecedented challenges. Corralling the unique visions of over 40 artists into one cohesive, captivating exhibition would be no small feat. It was a daunting journey that would stretch our resources, test our stamina, and demand every ounce of our passion and resilience. But the prospect of manifesting something extraordinary through the solidarity of our diverse collective drove us onward with an electrifying sense of purpose. United, we began laying the collaborative groundwork for an arts experience like no other - a culminating tour de force to cap off our undergraduate arts education.
Open Bracket Exhibition
As an art student, having your work displayed in a public exhibition can be an incredibly exciting, nerve-wracking, and rewarding experience. It’s a chance to unveil your creative passions to the world and get a taste of what it’s like to be a professional artist. But what viewers don’t always realize when they walk into that sleek, polished gallery space is the tremendous amount of collaboration, planning, and hard work happening behind the scenes to make it all come together.
