Art in the post

‘Dog Walk’ This painting of the Duver in Seaview, the Isle of Wight arrived safely by post with its new owner after the exhibition. It was a work of 2 stages, at first marking out the land/seascape with loose brushstrokes, and then working in a little detail as a focal point. Hence the title!

Prints prints prints!

A while ago I refreshed my artwork in 2 local cafes with these giclée prints of my original artwork. I’m loving this as it means being able to recreate work that has sold in an affordable way, often at a smaller size than the original that suits a lot of people! Again, these are all on beautiful textured Hahnemühle German etching paper printed by the brilliant @theprintspace.

Prints of most of my artworks on Artlal.com are available in A4 and A3 size.

The cafés they’re showing at are the lovely @potterspantry4 in New Barnet and @emscoffeelondon in Whetstone.

Final delivery

‘Ashridge’ was the first painting to sell in my exhibition and the last to deliver! Giclée prints still available - the picture with a black frame is an A4 print.

Longlisted for Women In Art Prize

Lovely to hear my bouncy painting ‘JUMP!’ has been longlisted for the Women In Art Prize. Here’s hoping it’ll leap into the next round! Ba doom chh!

Prints delivery

Delivered a couple of prints today, one of ‘Reading Under Blossom’ and the other ‘Sea Spray’.
I’ve been meaning to offer prints of my work for some time, but it took the exhibition to spur me into action. Finding the right printer has also been key - the Print Space has done these excellent giclée prints on Hahnemuhle german etching paper which really retains the quality of the paint strokes and tones.
Most of my artwork is available in roughly A3 or A4 size

Artwork deliveries

What a lovely week delivering some sold artworks from my exhibition, and in the process meeting some fascinating people and catching up with old friends. Here’s Winnie, my stiltwalking boss @circorumbaba who bought ‘Frost Melting’. Still a few to deliver but it’s really nice seeing them go to good homes/walls!

It's a wrap!

The exhibition ended on 22nd May, and I’ve been busy delivering the sold artworks so have got a bit behind with my blog. For those that missed it, here’s some lovely slow TV for you! Thanks to everyone who was involved - your help was invaluable! It’s been an epic experience and I’m still digesting and ruminating on it and on what’s to come. In an ideal world it would involve a bit more art and acting, so we’ll see!

Here’s a slightly wobbly walk round of the exhibition!

Wednesday lunch

I’m delighted to have sold ‘Wednesday Lunch’ to a very nice couple last weekend. It means a lot when someone shares my enthusiasm for a particular painting (and moment?). This one is especially close to my heart! Giclée prints are still available and have been the most popular print so far. (See mounted print with black frame)

There’s also 10% off all paintings until the end of the exhibition at Lauderdale House, Highgate on Monday 22nd May.

Cheers! I’m offering 10% off all artworks to celebrate the final week of my first exhibition. If you can’t make it in person, see the ‘Artwork Sale’ page.

Here’s a pic of me after too much celebrating!

My first art review

I got my first fine art review!

By art historian David Stacey.

It’s very interesting to read someone’s else’s description of my work.

Sold!

I could have done with my stilts to put a sold sticker on this painting!

Sky clearing

Walking along the Maldon promenade in the rain, the sun made a last ditch attempt to shine through the clouds before sunset. The boys lost their wellies in the sinking sand.

This will hopefully be part of my upcoming exhibition if it dries in time!
