Ferns and Fuschias

Just finished this print. Took ages not sure about it yet as have spent a long time with it.

Fern print

I’ve been working on this Linocut for a very long time. Long time to observe and draw and a very long time to cut. It’s now ready to proof, phew. I had hoped to have it finished in time to submit to SGFA- Drawing Society annual exhibition but I missed the deadline. Never mind I have submitted other work instead 😊

Exhibition at The Three Hares Gallery -

Capturing Nature's Delicate side:
Botanical Art meets the Magic of Lace.

I’ve been working with The Cowper & Newton Museum in Olney Buckinghamshire for the last year making prints inspired by their collections. I have ideas for future work, but for now I have concentrated on their collections of historical lace. They have an extensive collection in their Lacemakers Room room and I found it really interesting and visually very inspiring.

Arts and culture summer event at Obsidian Gallery

Delighted to have three prints selected for this fun event. And I sold Greenhouse Earth I subsequently discovered, which was a nice surprise as completely understandably with the current cost of living my sales have been quite slow lately.

Woburn art gallery

I currently have Summertime Garden and Swiss Garden Dreams exhibiting at Woburn Art Gallery, a small artist run gallery in the centre of Woburn - well known as the village where Woburn Abbey is and The Safari Park 🦁😊. They have an online gallery but do pop into the actual gallery if you’re passing.

Work inspired by The Cowper and Newton Museum

I have a solo exhibition in October 2023 at The Cowper and Newton Museum in Olney, Buckinghamshire. Here is the work in progress of prints inspired by their extensive and fascinating collection of objects relating to the lace industry which historically was a very important part of Buckinghamshire’s past.

The museum is celebrating 250 years of Amazing Grace this year, written by John Newton during the time he lived in the house which now is home to this museum.

Objet not faberge latest

My mum had several different small collections of things - eggs were one collection. She had them proudly displayed on a small wooden shelf cabinet.
Mum is no longer with us, so now her eggs live with me, and I have been looking at them for quite a while thinking they would make an interesting series of work.

I was sent a sketchbook by Printmakers Council to use in preparation for their exhibition’Thinking for printing’. So I used it as a kind of scrapbook of ideas for my eggs.

Objet not Faberge 2 has been selected for the exhibition which is at The Bankside Gallery, London.
