"Becoming Oxford"

This week, the Lady Mayor of Oxford, Councillor Louise Upton, presented "Becoming Oxford" to the Mayor of Bonn, one of Oxford's twin cities. This was commissioned jointly from myself and my artistic colleague and friend Anne Griffiths as a gift in response to a beautiful map of Bonn presented to the Lady Mayor last year.

In a world where xenophobia, isolationism and intolerance is on the rise, I know that Oxford's relationship with all its twin cities is greatly valued and it is also true for us. Art plays a great part in that, and we deeply value our collaborations and friendships with our fellow artists in Bonn.

Mark Clay, Oxfordshire Artweeks exhibition (May 2019)

In the last year, I have completed my Masters in Fine Art, and exhibited at the Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize and Modern Art Oxford. It's been an amazing year despite the huge challenges of the coronavirus, and I have completed a lot of new work. But I have very much missed being able to show it "in the flesh". So it will be doubly wonderful to welcome you all back to our mini-gallery at home. My garden studio will be open for visits too.You can find out more about the show over on the Artweeks website at:

This year, in order to offer you a safe and secure visit, I am also running a very simple appointment booking system. Visits are offered in 30 minute slots but you are welcome to book longer if you wish. To book, simply visit this link:
