Trauma and bunting...

My life is a bit traumatic at the moment to say the least. I am separating from my husband of 20 years and moving house with the kids, we will be sharing time with them. Just that little sentence will no doubt tell you that I have had a lot on my plate lately! And in amongst the big ups and downs, the sadness's of coming to terms with what's happening, I am managing to do some work for the "Jubilee" show at Byard Art that starts this coming Saturday. And here is one of the pieces...some cheery bunting. And I loved making it. Loved the patterns, loved the colour of it, loved the optimism that's inherent in the image. I think I may make lots more... somehow these cheery little flags have stirred my rather bashed heart.And you can get to see a little of the process of the making of them...

Due to popular demand - now smaller pieces available from my shop!

By popular demand, I have been developing some smaller, more affordable pieces for people that want to give something that isn't at all available in the shops, or if you are more limited with hanging space then these would be ideal. And anyone that knows me well knows that I am not elitist... I actually hate things that are just too fancy pants.... so to make pieces that are much more affordable to all seems the right thing to do. So here some examples of them - priced at £45.00 (that includes the P&P) - they are all A6 in size and mounted onto Bockingford watercolour paper with a cream card window mount.All ready to fit straight into a 8" x 10".

Sometimes... the universe lurches to a new rhythm

It's been a long old time since I have posted anything on here. For the last few months I have had a lot on (my personal life taking a very dramatic change)...and lots of new work for Affordable Art Fair that was at the beginning of March and now another show at Byard Art EAST ANGLIA REVEALED and work that I am really excited about. SIX pieces sold at Affordable, along with commissions that came from it too.


Here is some info and a taster of the new pieces now on show at Byard:
