Paintings available through my shop

Hello, thanks for visiting my website. I’m an author (The Book You Wish Your Parents Had Read, The Book You Want Everyone You Love To Read, Couch Fiction and How To Stay Sane), a TV presenter, a journalist (Ask Philippa is my column in the Observer Magazine every week), but this site is all about my art.

I studied Fine Art at Middlesex Polytechnic in the 90s and graduated with a 2:1. My art work has featured in Vogue, Interiors Magazine and various newspapers, magazine supplements, and of course featured on Grayson’s Art Club on Channel 4. I have exhibited at Manchester Art Gallery, Bristol Museum and Art Gallery, and at the Midlands Art Centre in Birmingham.

During lockdown my friend Debbie Toksvig needed some abstract art for the therapy centre where she worked as a psychotherapist. I thought how hard can it be, I’ll just throw paint at some canvases and it’ll look great. It didn’t. Making abstract art is really hard, but I can’t stop trying, I’m obsessed by arranging colour and shapes on a flat surface until it looks good. So even after Debbie got her paintings, I carried on making them. They are available to buy from my shop.
