I have not posted for a while. In the time I have been quite on here I have been very active out there! The last few months have flown by. The main reason being I have been trying to work […]

I’ve just had the most bizarre experience. Last week I was emailed by a student from St Louis, Missouri, she wanted to interview a printmaker – she had googled print studios in St Louis and came up with the name […]
After a twelve hour day of painting white emulsion onto dark grey walls (a legacy from a graduate last year who didn't return to paint them over), and a five hour day of the same yesterday, I am shattered! I […]
I emailed Oxford city council PR and press person with a few quotes and some facts about what an impact this park had on the community. She said she would submit one more press release. I have seen nothing published. […]
