Artist at work…

August 31, 2024 I have a series of new works on the way and last night, I realised I wanted to make a change in one of them. So off I went to my studio, switched on the light and retouched the painting. Unbeknownst to me, my activity was picked up by our security cameras. My studio window… Read More »
