I’m travelling and missing my studio, but I brought my basic kit of concertina book, collage papers, tapes, crayons and posca pens.
It took me a while to let loose and start to play. It’s like getting back on your yoga mat - hard work until things start to connect 🙂

Some more of the pieces sold from my Salvage exhibition @&gallery in Edinburgh 🙂 There are still some available- contact the gallery.

Thank you all who made a special effort to visit and to those I met at the private view. It is always lovely to hear your stories 🙂

After a week of working big in the barn @lundstudios I am gradually getting used to my own studio again and settling into some new work.

Last days in the BIG Barn. Am I talking to myself

Last days in the BIG Barn.
Am I talking to myself? My passing film crew? To my papers I think!

This work is not complete, they are just beginnings, to be developed much more, back in my 8 by 16 ft studio.
Meanwhile I will keep up my search for a big studio near Cambridge.

Thankfully years of Iyengar yoga keep my agile AND I joined Richard for a 20 mile bike ride on the tops of Sutton Bank for a day off! 😳😵‍💫

You will also see some fancy footwork- I’ve heard that there is an app that gets the same results hmmm.
Happy days 🙂

About Me

After attending Art College in Yorkshire I headed south, with my sketchbooks in hand to far sunnier countries: Turkey, Greece, India, Morocco, the Caribbean, and then eventually settling in New Zealand before returning to the UK ten years later.. Read More
