Art and the Afterlife
I am delighted to be joining an incredible panel to explore art and the afterlife. Throughout history, art and music have allowed cultures to explore the huge question of what happens after death. Join us for an evening discovering how art has enabled us to grapple with one of life’s most fundamental questions: what lies beyond. I can’t promise that we’ll come up with all the answers but I can certainly promise a lively and thought-provoking discussion.
Monday, 14 October at 6.30pm. Tickets are available here

Have you often thought you’d like to know more about art and art history but never had the time or been too daunted to know where to start?
Welcome to Beyond the Palette where art history and entertainment are gloriously combined.
Join me and start your voyage into a curious but often laughably familiar world as we delve into the stories, beauty and obscurity of artworks from medieval altarpieces to impressionism, via the renaissance, baroque and rococo.
Let me take you beyond the palette where artworks, artists, scandals, myths and the simple everyday lives of ordinary people are all woven into accessible, relatable and humorous narratives to make art history as inspiring and exciting for you as it is for me.
That’s just what I want! Where can I find you to learn about art?
I operate a range of gallery art tours at the National Gallery in London, or invite me to come and present an art talk at a venue or occasion of your choice.
If you aren’t local or would prefer to enjoy some exciting art history from the comfort of your sofa, why not book one of my virtual art talks via Zoom?
Looking for something completely different? Commission a bespoke sketch to celebrate a meaningful or well-loved work of art.
If you’d like a taster of what Beyond the Palette has to offer, I have a large back catalogue of videos about art that you can delve into for free on the Free Art Videos page. Many of these videos are complemented by an Elevenses Blog if you prefer to read rather than watch.
To stay in touch and find out what’s new, join the mailing list here, and to read what other people have to say about Beyond the Palette, you can see reviews on the Reviews page of the website and at Trustpilot.
