So proud and honoured to have painted this cover. It’s out today!!

Important recording of Howell!! I got to be one of the first to listen as I painted the cover ☺️

Perhaps the Scottish @rotary young musician competition should take a closer look at their poster.

This is outrageous. To do this demonstrates utter contempt for the musicians who then went on to deliver a performance that gave no hint of their personal troubles. Professionalism of the highest form in contrast to sending redundancy emails mid performance. 😡

Latest commission: Bach Sanctus from B Minor Mass

My latest CD cover - such a pleasure to paint Dorothy Howell’s work 🥰

‘William Harris Faire is the Heaven’

This is a commission I did several years ago. I’ve just discovered I have a professional image of it which means I can do prints of it.

Do you think I should?

📢 Adding another voice 💬 of support to Sheku Kanneh-Mason The Kanneh-Masons Isata Kanneh-Mason Dr Kadiatu Kanneh-Mason Amazing musicians, role models and humble ambassadors for equity in our sector, who deserve nothing but our respect and love 🥰

Shame on anyone making racist comments & on the media for turning a moderate comment into an inflammatory news story. Sheku Kanneh-Mason is a wonderful advocate for music education & classical music & spoke brilliantly about it on #DesertIslandDiscs . That's what stories should be about

Tune-in BBC Sounds to relive Scottish Chamber Orchestra 50th Anniversary Concert on BBC Radio 3 which includes the premiere of my new birthday encore piece “Jubilee” composed specially for the occasion! Listen here: bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

Decimating an entire organisation - and ruining the livelihoods of so many talented creatives leaves me wondering why I ever decided to train for this profession. What is happening to it? Once a vibrant, burgeoning, exciting industry. Now? Cultural Armageddon. #ENO #opera

Reading a book is like entering someone else’s mind. As I get fed up with my own thoughts & often wish I could get a break from myself, I see reading as a very important part of my mental health 😊📚

It always annoys me to hear continuity announcers on classical radio stations talking about ‘Relaxing sounds’ — as though the purpose of classical music is just to calm you down, instead of exciting you or making you think….
