The White Swan

The White Swan is a beautiful gastro pub set in the lovely village of Gilling West, Richmond. It is a family run business which only recently re-opened in July 2013 after major refurbishment:

 Our vision is to create a country pub which blends the modern with the traditional and provide a platform to showcase the region... Local produce, Local products, Local people.”
They believe that the pub has more to offer than the food and drink it serves, being something like the hub of the community. They have strived to create confortable surroundings, the perfect ambience, and atmosphere and of course a warm welcome to everyone.

Their vision to support local produce has been extended beyond the fantastic drinks and food to also include local fine artists and musicians too. Their fine art collection so far includes painting, photography, sculpture and crafts which the public are able to purchase.
I love the very sole and ethos of this place and so I am very pleased to announce that they have become one of my latest stockists! At the moment they are stocking a selection of my framed Limited Edition Prints, Canvas Make-up Bags, Cotton Eco Bags and my greetings card range.  In time I am hoping to add to this collection and hopefully stock some seasonal items in the upcoming months!

July -A lot has been going on!

July has been and gone! But for me I will always remember this one in particular as it has been spectacular, not only for my work but I’ve been having a blast too!

In early July I went to ‘The Scripts #3 gig’ at Bridlington’s Spa Royal Hall and actually got to personally meet the whole group getting autographs and photographs with them all! I never expected to do this but I’m quite a big ‘Script Fan’ so I was made up by this and will never forget that amazing night!
Here is me with Mark from The Script!

Then if that wasn’t enough I went on holiday to Dublin and had a great time there, then the day after we returned I had an invitation to attend a lunch time concert at Bridlington’s Priory Church Celebrating the visit of Prince Charles and Camilla! Where Prince Charles shook my hand and spoke to me! WOW is all I can say to that!

Me outside Bridlington Priory Church after meeting Prince Charles! (unfortunatly we couldn't take pictures inside the Church)
 
 
As for Art Work…
For a while now I’ve been producing new work for my group exhibition at Guerilla Galleries in London and this has now been framed and sent!

The exhibition schedule has been changed slightly and the original ‘Comic Book’ exhibition I have been producing work for has been swapped and moved to October but I was also asked to exhibit in ‘Random Acts of Artistry 2’ which has been pushed forward to August! The end result is I now have two exhibitions in London instead of one!  

For August I will try to come back down to reality working hard and moving forward! But still exciting times are ahead as I will be included in my first London exhibition ‘Random Acts of Artistry 2’; I will be having a workshop at the Bridlington Priory and preparing for other exciting events! So watch this space!
