I must admit, what with homeschooling, home day jobbing and home homing, I’m really missing seeing art and artists at live events and exhibitions. We really need art at the moment to give us moments of stillness and joy, and remind us of the magic and beauty in life. Though I was deeply disappointed at […]

I’ve been working away in the garden studio (and have a month more of doing so now!) making some new mono-prints. I hope to have these ready to either buy directly from me or via Tincleton Gallery soon. I’ll be releasing these to buy via Instagram, specifically the #artistsupportpledge as we approach Christmas, so if

I’m pleased to have had a piece selected for the RWA Annual Open Exhibition this year- the last of my ‘Near Avebury’ variable edition. They sold very well, so if you’re the proud owner of one, you can feel smug about having as good taste as an academician! The exhibition was due to open on

I’ve been greatly enjoying my time back at Spike Print Studio over the last 6 weeks or so. I’ve managed to make a new variable edition inspired by the views from Maiden Castle in Dorset. It will be available to buy on my online shop at the end of October. I’ll be offering a fairly

I’ve added most of my cyanotypes to my etsy shop now- just click on the link on the home page.  Each one is unique as I often tone the images with tea, coffee and soda crystals as well as the quirks inherent in the technique.  

Yes, you’ve guessed it, the Arts Trail is moving online too.  Just join Facebook group VirtualSouthBristolArtsTrail and get browsing at the weekend. Most of the artists who would have been showing work for the trail will be posting their new work during the weekend.  There’s already some posts on there previewing some of the artists. 

If you’re a print fiend (like me) you might be interested in Print Day in May on Saturday 2nd May- this year all done virtually.  The idea is that printmakers from all over the world make a print or prints on that day and share their work in progress and results via printdayinmay.com, and on

Clevedon Sunday Market is happening again this weekend on Facebook. I’ll be posting some pieces from my new variable edition ‘Ridgeway Sunrise’ as well as some new Cyanotypes photographs of North Somerset on Sunday only. If you want to peruse lovely things from local makers and maybe even help to support them through this shaky
