Hi everyone and best wishes for the new year 2018!

My winter news update shows a busy start for 2018 with a variety of exhibitions. The news begins with a presentation which includes two versions of my steel panel portrait of Scottish poet Robert Burns: one which is a flat suspended steel panel and another which is convex and free-standing on a base.
The newsletter ends with another convex freestanding/suspended steel panel portrait – though of a completely different subject!!!

The title of ‘Burns Unbroke‘ was inspired by the epigraph which prefixed Robert Burns’s first publication in 1786:

The simple Bard, unbroke by rules of art,
He pours the wild effusions of the heart;
And if inspir’d ’tis Nature’s pow’rs inspire;
Her’s all the melting thrill, and her’s the kindling fire.

Robert Burns Day 25th January 2018!
