The centre of our town was closed off to traffic and instead was full of temporary bars, stalls and a large stage for performances. This Expo Nazari fiesta is on every other year and is a great excuse for a get together. It is a celebration of Vélez de Benaudalla's Moorish roots. I participated by [...]
Here are two audio recordings that you can download and listen to as podcasts - artists critique my paintings. I recommend you listen to them whilst looking at a picture of the painting being discussed. This is from an exhibition I participated in, along side 22 other international artists from my art group, ANA (Artists’ [...]
It was so exciting to walk into the exhibition and everything to be a surprise because I had not been part of the set up. I know all the artists and seeing their creative outpourings was over powering. I gave a speech as Chair of ANA and suggested people come back when it is less [...]

This was the best event I have ever organised. Classical music, with aerial artists and tons of art, all in stunning architecture. I want to do more events in this style. The Chamber Players added a really beautiful soundtrack to the proceedings with Nick Tasker on his home made harpsichord, two violinist and a flutist. [...]

He came down to La Azucarera on the 2nd December and gave us a wonderful performance, his dulcet tones filled the enormous exhibition hall with Flamenco, Latino and rock. Lots of people turned up to enjoy this evening of art [...]
