The art auction raised over £2500 for the Pakistani Flood appeal. Everything was sold. I don’t know who bought mine and what it went for. I think the organisers will have enough on sorting out payment and admin etc. so […]

The garden is starting to wake up! Daffodils are coming out, the crocuses are nearly over and the frogs have spawned (although many fewer than last year). We have been clearing part of the wooded area at the top of […]
So I have to move flat… for the umpteenth time. It’s just part of the renting life. And, dreading the idea of moving all my art supplies and unsold art work to yet another place, I contemplated throwing some of […]

I am based in Parson Cross, a regenerational area of Sheffield, for my Yorkshire Artspace starter studio for Engaged Practice placement. The studios are not ready until July so I have decided that I need an alternative space to start […]
