Drawing inspiration.

Working, as I do, alone in a studio can be quite lonely, without the inspiration of others. This week I have happened on some truly amazing work on the internet. Work that has inspired and challenged me.


Have a look here, at Jezze. Her brooches made from fragments of ceramics inspired these artworks that I painted on shale fragments which came from a friends garden when they replaced their patio! Small, simple and recycled to boot!

Winter Warmers and Cute Kids Cards!

Today is cold and rainy and grey, just the kind of day for a fire in the fireplace. I can feel it warming my back as I work... wonderful. Nigel and I have become real scavengers, no fallen tree is to big to be cut up and carted home. There is a real feeling of achievement in collecting all of those fireplace necessities that make winter so welcome, warm and toasty!

Have just been photographing my kids cards, prints and jotters for their catalogue page. I think they just look so cute and will be for sale on Etsy as soon as I have all the background details sorted.

A sneak preview of my kids page in my catalogue!
