Unaccustomed as I am….
I like to write about what I’m up to.
I like to post pictures of my work.
I welcome critical engagement with my work.
I want to connect more and further.
I want people to visit my studio.
Definately time I embraced the blog…
My First Blog
Where does one start? I have a lot I can talk
about…my processes, old works, where I’ve
been and what I’ve done… but for my first blog I
think my new studio and SEOS is the perfect
beginning.
From inital design to finally built it has taken the
best part of 4 years to complete my fantastic
studio at the bottom of the garden. High
ceilings, gallery lighting, huge bifold doors, it is
a place of perfect peace and plenty… the latter
being the vast quantity of artistic paraphenalia
and paperwork I have accumulated over the
past decade and then some. It appears I have
hoarding tendencies - who knew? (Whole
family apparently!) I confess to being a bit
overwhelmed with the moving in but I’m still
busy arting away in preparation for WOKAS
Spring Exhibition and South East Open Studios
in 3 weeks….nearer 2 weeks…aaargh! I am
making prints, drawing portraits (dogs and
people) and painting an oil portrait and a
seascape whilst updating this website, hanging
rails, mounting and framing pictures and then
hanging the same. Phew!
I am the proverbial ‘pig in poo’, couldn’t be
happier!
Here’s a small montage of some of the things
I’ve been doing this last month or so….
