Merry Christmas 2013

I would like to dedicate this week’s blog to my Family, Friends and Supporters! I want to say to a really big thank you for all of your support over the years because without it I would not be able to carry on doing what I do and it means the world to me!  

In the New Year I have lots of exciting projects already on the go including the launch of a new product already in its design stages! I am also included in Guerilla Galleries New Year exhibition ‘Escape to Happiness’ from 2nd -3rd January @ The Daniel Libeskind Space Islington, London beginning the New Year with a smile!!!

I have lots, lots more on in 2014… but for now thank you again and I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Roller Gallery

I am very happy to announce that for the month of December 2013 I will be the feature artist at the Roller Gallery. The Roller Gallery is an online space which features contemporary work from new and up and coming artists! Therefore I was very honoured to be able to exhibit my work on their website.

“The Roller Gallery began in 2013 and is operated by a UK based group of curators as an on-line exhibition space for contemporary visual art. We are a non-profit gallery and do not sell work.

Through a program of temporary on-line exhibitions, our overarching goals are to promote the visual arts; to bring new contemporary art to as many viewers as possible and to enable emerging and established artists to show their work to a wider audience.”


You can find Roller Gallery and my featured work at: www.rollergallery.co.uk

Meet Jeff!!!

I have had a lot of requests for pictures of our new little family friend! He is a rescued boy, his name is Jeff and we only got him yesterday afternoon! Jeff is a cross Basset Hound/ Beagle already very mischievous but very kind and loving with it.

I have managed to calm him down after lovely long walk on the beach today and he is now snoring next to me so I thought I’d post these pictures!

I hope you like them; we love him so much already! I'm sure you'll be seeing him feature in many future artworks.

My New design for my Eco Cotton bags!


I had a very busy week last week but the highlights include…

My latest design for my Eco Cotton Bags arrived! It is taken from my original image ‘Quicker by Rail – to Emerald City’ inspired by the Wonderful Wizard of Oz! I choose a vivid green to for the cotton bag to make the design look vibrant whilst also tying in the theme of the Emerald City!

 I launched them at the Dickensian Festival in the Bridlington Old Town on Sunday 24thNovember and was a great success! Here are a couple of images from my stall at the festival!

 


If you come and visit me at my next events leading up to Christmas you will find many special offers- whilst stocks last!!!

A sad little tail that has a happy ending!

In August I donated a picture to the Rain Rescue Animal Shelter Charity (www.facebook.com/RainRescue) for an auction/ exhibition called ‘Don’t Judge a Dog by its Collar!’ to take place in October. The picture I donated was an original picture that I had created of our dog Timmy for my 2012 Christmas Card. The giving of this picture became particularly poignant as our old boy died just before the auction so I really wanted the picture to find a good home as it meant so much to me and I was happy that the money raised would go to help other rescued dogs as Timmy himself was a little rescued boy.


The auction ended on Sunday 20th October and in the end raised the great amount of £2541.00 with all the money going directly to Rain Rescue in Sheffield.

We believe in giving rescue dogs a home and so now that a little time has passed we began to search for a new little sole to save! The little dog had to be just right for us and vice versa! Eventually we found one we wanted to meet in a rescue centre a little bit closer to our home than Sheffield!

We instantly fell in love with him. So it is with great pleasure that I tell you that we will be collecting our new little friend up in less than a week’s time!
