Lots of lovely exhibitions happening. This weekend its The Stratford Art Fair and also the opening of an Open House exhibition i’m taking part in as part of Brighton Festival ( image above ) Its a fabulous exhibition with some very talented artists taking part showing a selection of printmaking, painting, wooden toys, jewellery and leather bags. I’ll mainly be showing my bird paintings but also have a browser filled with my limited edition handprinted prints! If you are local to Brighton its definitely worth a visit. There is also a pop up cafe in the garden… Its open for 4 weekends in May 11-6pm. Venue 11, Beyond The Level Trail. 15A Stanford Avenue, Brighton. BN1 6DW
I had an amazing month on the West coast of Scotland recently and i’m already planning some new prints with a Scottish influence/theme, can’t wait very exciting. My first print is called The Gift, its going to be a small, simple screenprint depicting 2 oystercatchers , one of which is offering the other oystercatcher a gift of a clam. There was an abundance of oystercatchers where i was staying in Skipness so i just had to make some work about them. Images soon…
