Featured in this Saturday’s Edition of The Times!
I’ve been included in an article, in the Times, titled “Beat Volatility by Avoiding the Stock Market”, where Mark Bridge explores investment in art and design. I’m under the sub-heading “Emerging Art Talent”. Below is the art work “Rise 1″ that has been mentioned in the article.

The article suggests that it is wise to invest in “items that are likely to hold or increase in value, but will also provide an alternative dividend by being useful or decorative whatever happens to the main stream money markets”. Sarah Ryan, founder of New Blood Art, recommended my work and described it as “the perfect brooding landscape”.
