My mind is racing after visiting the three locations – train stations – where I have been asked to make temporary works this summer. Next Friday I have to submit an initial sketch/concept … I really wish that was […]
I’m going to take some time off indefinitely to look after my health. Nothing bad has happened, I just figured I needed some time for a little self-care. For now, I won’t be on social media and this blog. Sometimes […]
early on in the planning of this project, we discussed taking the workshops to where the people are. we tried this at the church, and this garnered interest, but no new participants at our sessions. since last i wrote, we […]
Can a-n offer exhibition insurance? Thanks Max
Hi I am back with a-n and would like to take up chat about being a new older artist; that is if you have returned to or started a visual art practice in later life. There was a correspondence on […]
I’ve been editing the photos of my cells. I was expecting the typical circular forms of the red and white blood cells, those images we are so familiar with from school biology and TV documentaries and I am very excited […]
Lushly expanding, every nook and cranny filled. It’s not just the flowers that shine with verve in the sunshine, their leafy counterparts dance in the light too. Sunshine Dancing (mixed media painting on canvas) available Sunshine Dancing is the seventh […]

[Extracted from my Instagram post – I wanted to add it here as well because it might be an important point] ‘February Favourites 🎂🌹💐 Shooting Range (2023) 🏹 (After Charles-André Van Loo aka Carle Van Loo‘s Venus and Cupid 18th century […]
Gorgeous pink hues sprinkle and scatter as the sun reaches the day’s highest point. Hearts open to the elements, bees swooping for nectar, it’s one of those sparkly days of effervescence. Effervescence (mixed media painting on canvas) available Effervescence is […]
Did you know that Daphnia (water flea) are used as diagnostics to monitor pollution in water? I’m rather fascinated by these tiny water fleas and am currently trying to reproduce them in glass (not to scale). This has proved rather […]
Fluffy pink fronds sway this way and that, tickling and teasing wherever they land – like a feather boa being swept over a bare shoulder. Always impressive, forever impractical but completely marvellous in their frivolity. Fluffy Pink Fronds (mixed media […]
Vibrant swathes envelope and caress as they softly adorn surrounding foliage, brightening even the dullest of days. Vibrant Swathes (mixed media painting on canvas) available Vibrant Swathes is the third canvas in this 9-piece painting. You can see how the […]
Sleepy petals stretch and unfurl in the morning sun. Floral bridges are made as they reach and extend. Hellos and good mornings ruffle along these unnoticed fairy byways, making even the grumpiest early-waker turn on their smile. Floral Bridges (mixed […]
I need intellectual … mental … stimulation! Those two lectures at Mejan have made me realise how much I need to engage with intellectual … academic ? … discussion around practice. The question is how. It would be great to […]
