Very pleased to have participated in the 2011 Trees for Life Charity Exhibition to raise funds to help replenish the Caledonian forest. The exhibition took place over 2 weeks in November at 'Out of the Blue' in Edinburgh and was the first time I'd exhibited in Edinburgh. Three of my paintings were on exhibition,one selling on the first night and another the next night. The third will probably be auctioned by the charity. My art is also in the art book that's being published in conjunction with the event. Also rather nice to find that one of my paintings featured on the Trees for Life website as part of the promo. The paintings involved are Breathe I, II & III and can be found in the Breathe Gallery.

Other paintings have been used as fundraisers for the DEC East Africa Crisis Appeal & Save the Children.

A look at the Ultravox Effect in the form of some unique Ultravox inspired artwork will be included in 'Remembering Eden – 30th Anniversary Tour Book' - a celebratory project to commemorate the return of the '80's synth pop pioneers to the live stage in 2009/10. The project also aims to raise money for the Mick Karn Appeal, while being a tremendous tribute to Ultravox and all those who were involved in the rise of their career, both past and present.
