Over the three years of degree – and particularly these past two – my role and practice as an artist has changed enormously, and in this post, I want to examine how and why it has, and how it will […]
My June Boldbrush Art Contest entries feature the poster girl for my upcoming exhibition plus two others from my Floral Delights collection to keep her company – I’d be delighted if you could vote for one or any number of […]

Over the past week, we have been preparing the studio space for degree show and assessment, painting and filling the walls and then hanging our work. As I have a large space to fill and have a different colour on […]
