Selby Art Collective

17/10/2026

If leaving everything until the last minute was an art form, I'd have a whole collection dedicated to it by now! 😂

It’s exhibition day!! 😁

I’ll be at the beautiful Selby Abbey today from 10 till 4 with my dream team, the Selby Art Collective, and I can’t wait!

We’ve all been working our socks off getting everything ready, although I’ve somehow managed to leave about 47 jobs until the very last minute. Nothing new there then! 😂

So if you’re planning to pop in early, there’s a very good chance you’ll find me still faffing about, moving paintings two inches to the left, standing back, squinting at them, then putting them straight back where they were.

And if you catch me doing that, don’t be surprised if I rope you in to help! 😂

One of the pieces coming with me today is Forgiveness, beautifully framed and expertly printed by Tiger Print at a rather ridiculous hour last night! Huge thank you for pulling that one out of the bag for me. 🙏

I think he’s going to look absolutely splendid in the Abbey. There’s something quite special about seeing this particular piece in such a beautiful setting. ❤️

We’ve got a fabulous collection of original artwork to share with you, including some brand new paintings of mine that nobody has seen yet! I’ve also been busy creating some lovely little original watercolour minis, which I’ll be bringing along too. Small enough to find a home just about anywhere, and each one a little original piece of art in its own right.

And that’s one of my favourite things about exhibiting with this lot. We’re all so different in what we create, but somehow it all works beautifully together. There’s always something new to discover.

So, what are you up to this weekend? Fancy a little wander around one of Yorkshire’s most beautiful buildings with a whole load of art thrown in?

We’re here today AND tomorrow, Sunday, 10am till 4pm, right at the east end of Selby Abbey, in our lovely new exhibition space.

Everyone is welcome, including your four-legged friends! 🐾

Come and say hello, have a good nosey, bring a friend, bring the dog, and enjoy a bit of art.

Right, I’d better get moving. I’ve only got about 47 things left to do before 10am. 😂

See you at the Abbey! ❤️

Here is the 8th piece in my ongoing series for The Twelve Days of Christmas.Fitting eight separate maids, each with their own cow, into one canvas felt a bit crowded! Instead, I painted one maid demonstrating while the other seven gather around.Milking is incredibly hard work—something I know firs...

Selby, we’re doing it again… and we’d LOVE to see you.

This Bank Holiday Monday, the six of us from the Selby Art Collective are taking over The George for ART EXPO 26, and we’ve got so much new work to show you.

Six local artists, six very different styles and a room absolutely packed with original art. Some brand new pieces, some smaller affordable works, some big statement paintings and plenty you won’t have seen before.

There’s no pressure to buy anything. Just come in, have a wander, have a chat with us and enjoy looking at some art. Grab a cup of tea from the bar, or make it a b**r or a glass of w**e if it’s that sort of Bank Holiday Monday!

And with the market outside too, it’s a lovely excuse to come into Selby and have a mooch around.

Selby has always been incredibly supportive of its local artists, and it means such a lot to us when people come through those doors, whether you’re an art collector, someone who just likes looking at nice things, or you simply fancy seeing what six local artists have been up to.
