Shameless plug - but come and visit, though!!

Creative with Nature Spring Launch

Hello everyone,

Very excited to announce that I am participating in a group show at Creative with Nature.

For this exhibition - and since I am showing at an art gallery that works with nature - I pondered upon how that would apply to me. Fortunately, the pondering didn’t last long. Thoughts soon directed me to my love of plants. I’m not very good with plants and I am not a gardener. Something about a slug war and chopping worms into two that doesn’t agree with me. House plants can get a little neglected too, yet they complement a house so much! So my answer to this problem is to paint them instead to enjoy them that way!

The exhibition launches with an event on Friday, 5th April between 6 - 8 pm and will run until the 25th May. You are invited to the event, so please come along if you around! There will be free flowing booze, nibbles as well as art to feast your eyes upon!

I will be showing my work alongside the wonderful wicker worker, Joe Gregory, as well as fantastic artists, Maria Clancy and Naomi Neale who both work in watercolour depicting nature and wildlife.

You will find Creative with Nature at 22 Rochdale Road, Todmorden. Here is the link to the website if you would like to find out more: https://www.creativewithnature.co.uk/

Hopefully see you there!

Hello everyone, just like winter is a time for hibernation, I, too, have been spending the winter months in quiet contemplation, holed up in my garret, wearing layers to keep me warm with one solitary heater to keep my layers warm. Hector, our lovely german wire haired pointer cross and Youtube (so addicted, help me!) have been so very kind as to keep me company as I work. What a tough life! :)

What have I been doing all this time? Well, I have had……

Happy 2019!!: Time to reflect

Hello everyone, happy 2019! May the new year bring health, happiness and abundance in bucket loads to you!

So, it’s resolution time and I’ve been over eating recently and am starting to cultivate a splendid double chin, so the New Year’s Res is to eat less and to eat healthy and don’t give in to my tummy that reckons it’s hungry every time it gurgles. There is enough weight on my chin to last for days without truly experiencing hunger.

My second resolution is to

Manchester Art Gallery

Our stall was next to the beautiful gift shop

Had a fantastic time at the Manchester Art Gallery Christmas Art Market last night when I was sharing my stall with Phinefibre Art, Josephine Gornall. Despite it lashing outside, we both had a successful evening, met some lovely fellow artworkers/designers and sold a lot of work! A huge thank you to the organisers and to those of you who bought our work.
