Hat Therapy

Here is a quick snap of a poster I made for the beautiful Hat Therapy

It was for the EWE show in Birmingham. I traced the type face, shaded it in and then drew my bears free-hand. I'm hoping to develop some wedding stationary based on this as I really enjoyed doing it.

West End House Gallery, Ashford

I am so pleased to be exhibiting my paintings in the West End House Gallery, Ashford, Kent. The Spring Show is now on until the 27th of May.

Kite Flying, 30 x 40 cm

Dog walking and the new path, 30 x 40 cm

Saturday Strolling, 60 x 60 cm

There is a selection of my figurative paintings and florals on show. I used deep reds and yellows to create warmth.

There is a whole host of talented artists in the exhibition, do visit if you can.

Winter Exhibition at Portland The Gallery

I am exhibiting in Richmond, Surrey, please go if you get the chance! I am painting away to add to the collection I have there; as some of my pictures got damaged in transit. That will teach me to send frames with glass. Shame, back to canvas for me.

Christmas Presence

Here are some new drawings I have been doing. The originals are available at The Station in Richmond as part of their Christmas Presence exhibition. They are also available as cards at The Design Shop and Heart Gallery.

The Art Market, Holmfirth

A few weekends ago I did The Art Market  at Holmfirth.

My stand. I used painted wine boxes and old cases for display. It was the first time I had shown my new giclee prints, exciting!

There was lots of talented artists and makers there. Next to me was the imaginative Butterscotch and Beesting. I loved the stories behind this work  and I was lucky enough to do a print swap at the end of the day, so I now have my very own slice of the circus!

Lovely colours.

There was so much great work its hard to choose which to put on here..

This was James Greens stand. Fantastic prints.

As always with the Art Market I got to see lots of lovely work and meet people that genuinely support and get excited by art and craft.
