Opening night tomorrow!

The show opens tomorrow night, and I must say, I'm getting pretty excited!
Installation went very well and Megan was full of fantastic ideas for how to hang the show.
I'm quite pleased with it and can't wait for everyone to see what we came up with... and to see my first acrylic paintings in my last show for a time.

See you on opening night, but if you can't make it the show runs until March 3rd

The invites are at the printers!

Hasn't Megan done the most wonderful job with the invite! So very cute!

The show is coming together nicely, only a few works to finish and those empty gallery nightmares will cease.

So, the amazing little invites will be out in the world next week, which means not many sleeps until the show. So I had better get painting!

Hand Held Gallery

Opens Thursday Feb. 9th, 6-8 pm

The works in this show are formed by the idea that freedom is hindered by desire and looks at affluence, beauty and mortality from a slightly more sardonic angle.

These are my first acrylic paintings, I've discovered Golden Acrylics...

And there's no turning back!

This (very cute) little show will be my last exhibition for a little while.

I've applied to do my Masters (fingers crossed for me) so I'll be getting back to the studio, getting back to the research and most importantly...

Getting back to that experimental, mixed media, installation based work that has somehow disappeared from my practice in recent years.

But stay tuned to the blog and I'll keep you posted on the strange and wonderful things I discover working  a studio without deadlines!

See you at the show

The Wonderful Creative Things Fair

The last fair was a lot of fun, so many printed things to peruse...

And now we get the chance to do it all again at 

The Wonderful Creative Things Fair!

I'm running with my space nerd tangent and my theme for the fair will be Space Junk!

I'm mixing media, sanding, priming, sanding, priming, sanding, priming and mixing ever more media to bring you my own wonderful creative things... wearable drawings and collage!

Yes. Space Junk Jewellery. Could anyone be as excited about this as I am?

You'll have to come along to find out!

I know it's been a very long time between posts, but let me assure you, this is worth waiting for...

Come along to a lovely little group show at Hand Held on Thursday night (it's my birthday week so you can't say no!)

The Wonderful Printed Things Fair

I've been very kindly asked to contribute some wonderful printed things, so I've made some very cute badges, magnets, bags, cards and books to sell at the aptly titled Wonderful Printed Things Fair!

All of the details are on the flyer below...

Hope to see you there xox
