Dirty Pretty Things

In two weeks’ time (Monday 12th November) I will be hanging an exciting exhibition alongside my friend and fellow artist Rhea Sherriff-Hammond. Rhea and I first met at University and got on straight away like we had been friends all along!

We had our first joint exhibition together last year at The West Wing Gallery at Sewerby Hall and Gardens titled ‘Malice in Wonderland’ and as it was such a huge success we decided to unite once more to bring you ‘Dirty Pretty Things’!

 

This exhibition will take place at the Gallery@Spa at Bridlington's Spa Royal Hall from Monday 12th November - Friday 23rd November.  

I am looking forward to the big unveiling of bubble wrap to see what new work Rhea has produced. I too have been busy since our last exhibition and will be exhibiting both new art works and new products will be on sale.

 

These will include my new Eco Bags and Christmas Cards Timmy and Hannah!

Here is a fantastic article about mine and Rhea Sherriff-Hammonds upcoming exhibition at the Bridlington Spa Royal Hall titled 'Dirty Pretty Things'!

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.
