“Wow” was my first reaction when I accidentally stumbled upon “The Procession” at the Tate Britain. This visual extravaganza is a real showstopper with its colourful characters, dioramas and a deep dive into black history. I’d actually come to see an entirely different exhibition but this carousel of […]
‘Pure art in motion’ is the best way of describing the brilliant Alexander Calder exhibition at London’s Tate Modern this season. Alexander Calder was one of the most important American artists of the 20th Century, famous for his pioneering approach to sculpture. He was ‘Mobile Man’, the originator of mobile art and […]
Cornwall boasts the most gorgeous gardens in Britain so I was thrilled to discover a new addition to its great outdoor attractions. Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens is hidden in a lush valley with woodlands, a stream and dramatic vistas which provide the setting for contemporary art installations. International artists such as James Turrell and David […]
I’m a big art lover and one of my favourite artists is Barbara Hepworth. I adore her sculptures which are being rediscovered by a new generation as a result of a major show at London’s Tate Britain. A fascinating character, she carved a niche as a leading figure in a modern […]

Kettle’s Yard in Cambridge is a house I keep on going back to. It boasts a beautiful interior, crammed with stunning art works collected by its original owner, Jim Ede. If I had to list my top 10 dream homes, this would be one of them. It isn’t grandiose but there’s something […]
It’s a remarkable sight. A hundred life-sized sculptures stretching along a sandy beach and into the sea as far as the eye can see. Welcome to Antony Gormley’s Another Place. This spectacular art work on Crosby beach in Liverpool is a sight to behold with its army of cast-iron figures looking out to sea. Staring out […]
If you have a passion for art, grab your diary and make a date to visit Cheeseburn Grange, a fantastic addition to North East England’s cultural scene. I was lucky enough to get a sneak preview of things to come when I visited Cheeseburn earlier this week. Cheeseburn is the brainchild of Joanna […]
There’s a real buzz around the Hayward Gallery’s Human Factor show – quite literally. A sculpture of a woman with a hive of bees sitting on her head is buzzing with activity on the outdoor terrace. Standing a little close for comfort, I backed off this remarkable work which is one of […]
