The Power of Play
If you follow me on Instagram, some of you may know that I’ve been taking the Creative Visionary Programme this year- an online 12 week course led by Nicholas Wilton. The premise is essentially trying out the principles taught each week on 30x30cm panels- using acrylics. This is quite a challenge for me-partly as…

New Hand Prints from the Garden Studio
My topic this term is combining line and painterly marks. I’ve managed to make some pretty large drypoints by hand- which involves quite a lot of muscle power, by the way- essentially my arms are replacing the pressure of a printing press! I’m currently adding mono print to them and hope to have them…

You really don’t need much…
To make art, start printmaking, do something that fills your cup. We often feel we don’t have enough time, space or ‘stuff’ to do what we want to. But if the pandemic has taught me anything, it’s that you really don’t need much to make a start. Half an hour gleaned from home schooling……

Are there any silver linings?
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…

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…
