Roger Cardinal, Art Historian and the man who coined the phrase ‘Outsider Artist’ sent me a new year email today in it he told me “I read the other day that Alberto Giacometti used to keep a vixen in his […]

You just don’t even want to know how much moaning I’m doing lately. Bad back, migraine, tonsilitus, car won’t work, schools shut, snow… I’ve started work on my final report to ACE. It’s satisfying to list all the positive developments […]

My proposed direction of study has developed and moved towards an exploration of what is hidden, what is seen…still linking to my learning plan, but with references to personal space, not just environmental space. Moving away from making conventional prints, […]

I am afraid I have been rather lax on the blog front. After my show with Julian Hartnoll I hit a slump and my body melted down along with my weary head. I always marvel at how these things; paintings […]

No settlement at mediation yesterday. We soldier on. Took my work to Thorseby Gallery, part of the Thorseby Estate – in the middle of nowhere. As you can imagine the scenery is stunning, expecially with a covering of snow. The […]
