Still more drawing for now.
I’m in Scotland and being reminded all over again about how great it is to be here for this festive time of year. The Christmas trees and lights almost invariably stay up until Twelfth night and there’s not that sense […]

Research project and associated writing is finished, printed and ready to hand in. I’ll stop going on and on and on about it now. Promise.
Making shapes: a kind of writing practice. But the pen’s still in the way.
Here we go again……another email scam. Do artists ever fall for these? Dear Wendy Williams, Your artwork has caught our eye and we are keen to exhibit your work in our galleries based in Mayfair, London and Paris. I would […]
