Nature - a-n The Artists Information Company

I am staring out into the garden at the roses both blooming and drooping in the rain. There is the quiet hum of the fridge in the background and the only other thing I can hear currently is the tapping […]

It might be very chilly out there but I have been wonderfully ensconced in my little studio quite a bit. I have managed to fracture my toe quite badly which meant my plans to work at the theatre over December […]

Much of making art for me is about trying things out. I tend to work in series of works where I am exploring particular ideas that have evolved from other art works I have created. Very often it may appear […]

I have been suffering from a badly torn meniscus in my knee and whilst I have been able to hobble about ok, it has been very painful. Consequently this has necessitated a fair bit of rest and thankfully the weather […]

‘Landscape sketchbook’ it’s a collection of work driven by nature and landscape. Although not historically my main topic it’s been present in my practice since I can remember. Our bodies know more than we do… muscle memory in movements, searching […]
