NYOS and Edible Art 2014!

I had a great first weekend for the North Yorkshire OpenStudios 2014 event based at Ga11ery Eleven in Filey! During the first day visitors enjoyed my edible art cupcakes! This was something I piloted back in 2010 at Reveal – Hull and East Riding Open Studios and I thought it time again to revive it and create cupcakes using my latest work (Don’t worry I baked fresh cupcakes!).

I thought the Ka-Pow image worked really well as a cupcake!

 Cupcakes from NYOS 2014 featuring four different designs!

Unfortunately this weekend 14^th /15^th June there will be no cupcakes… however you will still be able to view my new artwork, products and I will still be here demonstrating my work and talking to all the lovely visitors! I may get some sweets if that will tempt you!

Urban Wonderland

My latest artwork has now been packed and is ready to go down to London! The artwork was created especially for the Guerilla Galleries for their April exhibition titled ‘Urban Life’.

Part of the brief stated: “this show hopes to present an honest look at life, love and survival in an urban environment…”

As my work is mainly inspired by children’s stories and childhood memories, I approached the artwork from this perspective. As all children adapt to their environment and view the world in wonderment I titled the piece ‘Urban Wonderland’. Therefore, it is a nonsensical mix of reality in an urban environment contrasted with child’s play, incorporating characters from stories such as ‘The Gruffalo’ and a magical theme from ‘Harry Potter’ alongside an urban backdrop, including the natural world living in the cities and other issues such as fly tipping.

However, look a little closer into the image and you may find other fun elements to make you smile, so why not take a closer look!
