During lockdown and the extended shielding period I have been making lino/monoprints based on the shape of ancient Chinese shields.

So pleased to be showing a range of affordable works on paper at The Open Dresser Gallery in Juxtaposed. The work is all for sale in the TOD shop.

I enjoyed getting my contribution together for the  DAD Artists at home project curated by Louisa Love. DAD Artists at Home is a strand of Dover Arts Development’s What Next? project, which aims to support DAD’s community of contributors during the challenges brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic, by providing digital outlets and promotion for their work and aiding further connections between artists and projects.

I am really pleased to be exhibiting some small pieces with The Open Dresser Gallery in Sevenoaks from 19 – 25 September.

A buyer sent a “Happy New Rat” card to a friend to welcome her new pet! I can make Chinese zodiac cards to order. Just get in touch via my contact page.

My postponed exhibition of watercolour collages at Brew Folkestone is finally going ahead, albeit without a private view. Who would have thought that the exhortation to hug those you love could be seen as dangerous? When I made the work, just before lockdown, I was thinking of how hugging brings together different bodies in an intimate embrace – I was thinking of warmth, comfort, reassurance, juxtaposition and closeness.

All pieces are in bleached tulip frames, glazed with museum glass and mounted on conservation float mounts with acid free, water resistant back boards. They are priced at f£320 each. Please get in touch if you are interested in buying a piece.

These are fun to do and I enjoy the juxtapositions and suggested narratives.
