Well it definitely feels like Spring is in the air, the birds have really kicked it up a gear with their singing, i’ve seen grassy banks covered in blankets of snowdrops, so lovely! Lots of crocuses out and about too. So…. very exciting, its very nearly time for #supersecondssaturday. An online event i’m taking part […]

Oh My Gosh, how cold has it been. I don’t have central heating in my home or studio so i’m sure you can imagine my levels of cold! Yesterday it snowed again so i photographed my brand new painting, i’m still unsure of a title. Unusually for me this painting has been sat in my […]

I’ve been busy, i never seem to get enough done even though i work in my studio full time. Time is weird at the moment, the days just seem to disappear, i think its the groundhog day effect…. Anyway…. i’ve just added a framed category to my website which is rather exciting. There is currently […]

The crown is capped black with a flash of of yellow across […]

I hope everyone is doing as well as they can be. I’ve got to be honest my head hasn’t quite been in its usual place with regards to creating work, i’m trying, but its a bit all over the place. My usual concentration just isn’t quite there. I’m now just going with the flow and […]

I’ve really got into my packaging for all of my lovely orders over the last couple of years. This is my most recent packaging design, its hand printed by me by burnishing from a lino cut, i really like it, especially on the lovely manilla coloured envelope. I’ve printed it in black or white on […]
