Setting up 18 studios, Long Eaton, Nottingham

A curator spotted my paintings on Axis and paid me a visit today. The show is in January and a bit soon, but I’m quite excited as my work is going in the right direction. (Most of my paintings are hanging at Deda at the moment so only v current work is available). If it doesn’t go ahead in the New Year she is still keen to show it at a later date. The great thing about studios is that visitors get the chance to see other work. She took the cards of several artists. Five of us have booked tickets for Stockholm. Others might join us later. Seven of us are exhibiting so we will have to distribute the freight between us. We will be wearing several pairs of trousers and jumpers to make room!
