I love how friends, teaching, art, travel and being brave all come together.

It’s been a fun and busy week filming an interview and studio tour. We’ve all just about got used doing our own little insta reels, but an interview in front of three cameras is a different kind of scary! 🤪

Back to work now.

Painting collage scraps this morning. I have been fiddling around with small shapes so I need to shake it up a bit.

Just LOOK at these beautiful boat blocks gifted to me by one of my newsletter readers! 👀👀

They are from Gweek boatyard in Cornwall. All functional blocks used to wedge and balance boats when on the hard.

See if you can spot them in my collage assemblages in the next few weeks, also see the connection to the @andyartist59 piece a couple of posts back!
