Inside The Joy Chronicles Private View at J/M Gallery, Notting Hill

The Joy Chronicles private view, J/M Gallery, Notting Hill — July 2026

It was the fullest private view I've ever had. For one evening, that little room on Portobello Road held flowers, friends, collectors, and a great deal of laughter, and three paintings found their homes before the show even opened.

The Joy Chronicles ran at J/M Gallery from 2–7 July 2026. The show explored painting as a way of noticing the aliveness of the world, finding wonder in fleeting moments that might otherwise pass unseen.

I've put together a full gallery of images from the private view and the show, including the works on the wall and the people who made it such a special week. Click here to view all the private view photos →

The works are now back in the studio

The remaining original paintings from The Joy Chronicles are now back in my studio in Ramsbury, wrapped and ready to go. Each is a one of one, and as a thank-you for following the show, the code JOYCHRON25 takes 25% off any of the remaining works until midnight Sunday 19th July. See the remaining paintings here →

With warmth and gratitude to everyone who came,
