New Eco Cotton Bags on Sale!

I am so excited I can hardly contain myself! It has been feeling a little bit like Christmas today because I have been waiting for a parcel to be delivered.

 The parcel has arrived! Mmm I wonder what is inside this box!

 

Ok no more teasing. These are my new Eco Screen Printed Cotton bags going on sale via my website and a few other outlets that need to be confirmed!

 

The bag displays one of my original images from ‘It’s not just another wardrobe’ and is made with eco-friendly inks on cotton.

 Here are a few more pictures from this afternoon.

 

 

 

 

I hope you love these as much as I do!

My first day at Burton Agnes Hall!

I’ve had a lovely first day on my residency at Burton Agnes Hall!

 

I set up my pictures in the Summer House.

 

I got lost in the maze going in and out of it!

 

As the weather was so nice I set up outside with my sketch book and was very happy until the rain came down!

 

I finished off my day sketching in the house and met some lovely people.

There will be more pictures to follow soon!

News about my next event!

Thank you to everyone who came to visit us at the Alex May Gallery over the last week!

We all had a wonderful time and we are hoping to exhibit again together soon. In the meantime the gallery is going to be open more frequently – so watch out for that!

On a different note I am now preparing to do a residency beginning next week (from 1^st October- 14^th October) at BurtonAgnes Hall and there I will be show casing some of my architectural studies from the local area.

I was also pleased to find out that there is also a lovely article in today’s East Riding Mail about me and my residency.

I hope to see you there!

 

New Exhibiton at Alex May Gallery

Today local artists (including myself) launched a new exhibition at the Alex May Gallery in Bridlington’s Old Town.

The exhibiting artists included Keith Bruce, Leanne Broadbent, Kate Jordan, Lauren Cherice Designs, Maybelle Rose, Joy Johnson and Carlo Verda. This is to be the first exhibition of many as we are already discussing future events and exhibitions.

 

A selection of the artists will be available in the gallery to speak to about their work tomorrow (Sunday 16^th September) and next weekend 22^nd/23^rd September from 11am till 4pm.

Photos from 'More than just a pretty face' exhibition

Here is just a sneaky peak of some pictures on display at the ‘More than just a pretty face’ exhibition (Back o’the Shop Gallery – Terrington).

 

 

 

I am really excited to be part of this exhibition as it asks the viewer to look beyond the figure or portrait and think more deeply about the concept and narrative.

 

Hopefully this will tantalise your taste buds and make you want to view more!

The exhibition runs until Saturday 27^th October.

More Than Just a Pretty Face!

I have been fortunate enough to be selected for another exhibition at the Back o’ the Shop Gallery and again look forward to previewing the work. I was particularly pleased to be selected for this exhibition as it requires the viewer to look beyond the human form and to read deeper into the narratives that each artist has created. 

‘More than just a Pretty Face’ is a group exhibition taking place at the Back o’ the Shop Gallery in Terrington, near York. From Saturday 1^st September till Saturday 27^th October viewers will be able to observe artists selected by curator Shelley Hughes including Leanne Broadbent, Bren Head, Nicola Taylor, Bridget Askew, Daniel Pape, Jack Hutchinson, Kate Bentley and Jen Ricketts.

My selected works take a glimpse at the fantasy world of children’s literature but combine, reflex and comment upon contemporary society, creating contradictory images between the realm of reality and the imagination.

The exhibition runs until Saturday 27^th October and is not one to be missed!

Lauren Cherice Designs

Being a person of a creative nature you come into contact with new art and chance talented artists frequently. One such artist upon recent acquaintance is Lauren from Lauren Cherice Designs who is as lovely as she is brilliant, demonstrating wonderful print making skills and in particular her screen prints. She manages to make the world of fine art accessible producing items that would be suitable for any modern home.

 I am lucky enough to be working alongside Lauren and some other very talented artists on a new project to begin next April 2013 (more info on that later!).
