Lovely People - I'm Very Lucky

I have had some fantastic people come along to my workshops so far this year.
Lucky me - some of these women (yes, all women so far...) have been very sweet and sent me the kindest emails.
I have put a couple of these on my website - on the workshops page...take a look HERE

Had a productive weekend; filled up my collage 'sketchbook'
Did several little abstract drawing ideas in my tiny pencil sketchbook too

Then on Sunday I made three larger pieces and a smaller one - YES - feels so good to be in the shed and making.
Realised this weekend just how much making my art relaxes me - but also that I have to be relaxed in order to be able to make.
Just as well I found the space, with a busy exhibitions schedule this year - lots to do...

Breaking The Mould

Next month I'm happy to have been asked to be part of a group show at Stew Gallery, in Norwich.

Entitled Breaking the Mould, there will be an eclectic mix of work from a group of artists, working in both 2D and in three dimensions.

The exhibition runs:

 Saturday 4 April to Friday 10 April

Preview: 6-8pm on the Saturday

There will be twelve of us showing - it's a good big space, so plenty of room.
Here are a few images I found, representative of the work of some of the artists:

Amanda Addison

Jamie Andrews

John Clark

Gary S Holt

Hannalore Smith

Marion Stuart

Scott Stuart

Rebecca Tough

The images here may well not be representative of the work that each artist puts in this exhibition, as it's just what I could find on-line......

Apologies to those not represented - it means I couldn't find an image (or it was too small)

Rosa And Neus On Television

Both Neus Colet and Rosa Permanyer are part of this video - great to see them at work here.

You'll be able to see their work at Studio 20 in July, with some new collage pieces I'm working on for the show with these two internationally exhibited artists.

Rosa Permanyer's pieces combine painted papers and print:

Where as Colet's etchings are clearly related to her interest in 3D, as a sculptor:

Interaction Crossovers

Norwich artist Sally Hirst and I are to have a month long exhibition at the Fisher Theatre in Bungay

There's a good deal of wall space there, which will allow us both to hang a healthy representation of our work.

The show is entitled Interaction as there are several crossovers in our work - even though in some aspects, our work is chalk and cheese - mine's definitely a bit cheesy sometimes!

I'm sure Sally won't mind me showcasing a few pieces of her work here, as a lead-in to the exhibition.

You'll have to wait a little while; the show runs in June - from 27 May to 1 July, to be precise.

These two pieces (above) work well together for the Interaction flyer and the Fisher Theatre website's exhibitions page

I'm hoping to continue with working at a slightly larger scale this spring, although there will have to be some medium scale pieces and one or two smaller ones in this show, I have biggish plans...
