Hide & Seek

Canvas number 2! I really enjoyed doing the mini canvas for the Jamaica Street Open Studios auction so thought why not do another one, plus it was this man's birthday. I've been getting more into collage recently, it's extremely satisfying and finding odd scraps of really beautiful old paper is a big highlight!

Keep your eye out soon for my shop. Hopefully I'll be photographing bits and bobs for it tomorrow, fingers crossed it won't be grey and ominous like today!

Little white health lies

A spread for Woman's Weekly I did a couple of months ago.

The Bear Went Over the Mountain...

...to see what he could see! These are a couple of artworks I exhibited at the Jamaica Street open studios, and, I'm pleased to say, have now gone on to pastures new. I hope they enjoy their new homes :)

Open Studios

Well that was a whirlwind of a weekend! Jamaica Street Open Studios is over for another year. It was a great success with lots of people coming through the doors. It was amazing to see our studio so clean and tidy! That's me above on the right with two very talented people, my boyfriend Tom and our lovely friend Maria.

I got a few snaps of my work. I was a little stuck for frames for all of my artworks, but a car boot sale the Sunday before came up trumps. We came away with about 20 frames, all about a quid each. They worked perfectly with the style of my artworks. Bargain!

Above is the mini canvas I did for the auction. Every artist produced one (you can see Serena Curmi's beautiful piece here) and they all went up for auction on the sunday with all proceeds going to Jamaica Street Studios. Mine is now in the wonderful hands of Miss Hannah McVicar, a resident artist at Jamaica Street (thanks, Hannah!)

Busy busy busy!

Well, it's been an extremely busy couple of weeks in the lead up to the Jamaica Street Open Studios, there's still a bit more to do but I think me and my talented studio buddy Serena are almost there to get our studio looking spangly and lovely. If you find yourself in Bristol this weekend please do come along, there is a whole plethora of amazing artists, it'll be well worth the visit!

Had a really lovely trip to Brighton last week to go to the preview of the A to B exhibition at the wonderful Boxbird gallery. Make sure you check out the very nice limited edition prints and original artworks for sale from the show (including Tom's) on Boxbird's website. Or go see the artwork up close, the exhibition is on until 27th May.

Hello!
