With our Selby Abbey exhibition only a couple of weeks away, it’s time for me to decide what to put in. I reckon it’ll be about 12 or 15 paintings, but space is limited so it boils down to what will physically fit. I think all the 12 Days of Christmas ones that haven’t sold, and then…what? Girl on a Balcony has to be there as I promised someone yesterday. What else? Ping me or comment. You can look on https//:www.milkywaygallery.com. It can’t be Matlock Bath Illuminations as that’s already out there in Beverley Art Gallery. x

We’re going back to where it all began, and this one feels a little bit special. ❤️

On Saturday 17th & Sunday 18th October 2026, all six of us from the Selby Art Collective are heading back to beautiful Selby Abbey for our next Selby Art Expo!

Selby Abbey has supported us brilliantly from the very beginning, and every single person who attends our Expo plays a massive part in keeping this collective alive and thriving. We can't thank you enough!

Here is what you can expect:
✨ Six artists with six completely different styles.
✨ Brand new work that we've never shown before.
✨ Something for every budget—from large statement pieces to smaller, affordable paintings, prints, and cards.
✨ FREE ENTRY & Dog Friendly! 🐾
✨ No pressure to buy—come for a browse, a chat, and there are refreshments at Selby Abbey's café. ☕

Bring the family, or grab a friend. You might just find a piece of art you can't walk away from. ❤️

We’d love to see you!
