Homing in on Craven Arts - 2025

My studio Cum-bye arts - is based in the popular Craven Arts House centre in Skipton, North Yorkshire. It’s slightly off the main High Street in a former school, with the Craven Court shopping mall, coffee shops and Skipton Town Council Offices close by. You can round off your visit by enjoying excellent coffee and treats from the nearby Bean Loved, eat at The Bistro or many other local cafes, or visit The Albion Pub close by.

Paths I once trod - a year so far …

It’s been a busy year at Cum-bye arts … From footpaths and bridleways officer to practicing visual artist, the paths I once trod have led to my passion for the nuances and colour in our northern landscapes, the platform for the texture and layering I employ for my vibrant upland painterly adventures and agrarian portraiture.
