August Gallery at The Witham

I sign my work off as Mit. There are two reasons for this; the first is it was my timetable code when I was a teacher of literature, the second is it allows an emphasis of the letter t at the end turning it into a cross to represent my faith in Jesus.

I have now been painting full time, apart from charity work I do at The Well in West Auckland, where I lives. I see my art as a ministry more than a business but do need it to support itself, through sales at places like The Witham. I am thrilled to be at the Witham in August when many holiday visitors come through the doors allowing me to reach new audiences along with connecting back with my Teasdale supporters.

The title of this exhibition is simple for me as my work has always been about the world we live in, our connection to the land beneath our feet the power of water running through our rivers and the buildings we have lived with for generations. Now more than ever before we need to be aware of the gift of our world. My art celebrates our landscapes and I hope it encourages us to treasure what we have inherited and pass it on to future generations.

Please come along and see a few new paintings and some old favourites.
