Sneaky Peak of North Yorkshire Open Studios!

Well it has been very hectic for me over the last week!

I’ve been interviewed for BBC Radio Humberside in a conversation with the very lovely Phil White which broadcasted on Monday 3^rd June and I have also been interviewed by Yorkshire Coast Radio which will air on Saturday 8^th June all to promote North Yorkshire Open Studios an event that I will be taking participating in beginning on Saturday 8^th June.

Yesterday I was using my muscles transporting art work from my studio to the Beiderbecke Hotel in Scarborough and today I have been hanging my art work and erecting my mini installations!

Here is a sneaky peak of the function room at Beiderbecke’s Hotel where I will be working from (Saturday 8^th –Sunday 16^th June) in its various stages of completion but I haven't shown every thing you'll just have to come and see for yourselves!

Room Before!

My new Art Work Showing at North Yorkshire Open Studios

So far this has been a very creative one for me and luckily the ideas keep on flowing - long may it continue!

Here is a new work that I created at the beginning of the year with the North Yorkshire Open Studios event in mind. As the open studios event is in June I wanted to create something that was colourful and naturally my thoughts led to Alice in Wonderland. This is the second new art work from this theme that I have produced this year and will I be exhibiting them both for the first time from my NYOS venue!

This new artwork is titled ‘Alice in Pursuit’, a mixed media image on canvas.

I hope you like it!

Productivity!

If you have been following me recently you will know that this year I have had a surge of productivity! Literally, I’ve developed lots of new products!

I wanted to create a lovely affordable gifting range which I think I have achieved and therefore I have now turned my attention to my contemporary greeting card range by adding new stock.

The new range complements my ‘Alice’ card following the theme of ‘Alice in Wonderland’ and has again been developed from my some of my original artworks.

You may have seen my card developed from the original image ‘The Mad Hatters Tea Party’ which arrived the other week but the latest greetings card has only just arrived and I am more than happy with how it has turned out!

The original image ‘She is a Flower with Messy Petals!’ was created in January this year and was created with the notion of it becoming a greeting card, which is an oddity in itself as I normally create artwork because I am inspired by a particular theme. The thought of a product normally comes afterwards when I look at an image with fresh eyes and evaluate it. Never-the-less I do believe it works as a card and I now leave you with the question  - which one of these greetings cards do you like the most?

New Greetings Card!

Today I had a lovely delivery of my latest design in my contemporary greetings cards range and have spent most of the day packaging them to send on to my stockists.

The original mixed media image was again inspired by ‘Alice in Wonderland’ and was actually created in 2011 titled ‘The Mad Hatter’s Tea Party’.

Tomorrow I will start distribution to my stockists but you can also purchase them through my own website.

In a few weeks’ time I should be able to post another new card from my contemporary greetings card range so watch out for that!
