Tiny kitchen clutter scenes…

New paintings drying ready for EVIDENCE exhibition at Artsmill, Hebden Bridge April 20th to May 8th, and in the meantime I have been enjoying some mono printing. Some tiny kitchen clutter scenes to contrast the large scale domestic paintings and the orderliness of the shelf portraits…009
and I found some lovely little oak frames for them…

Feeling very organised, but really MUST get on with finalising publicity!!

A busy couple of months…

It’s been a busy couple of months at my studio, making new work for my upcoming solo exhibition at Artsmill in April. I’ve been having a fabulous time, working on some new large scale paintings of domestic ‘evidence’:

A lovely festive weekend was had at Northlight Winter Art Fair…


It was lovely to all be sharing the new downstairs Art Space together, rather than being in our own studios. More of a studio social! More of a Festive air about the place 🙂

Not-Books

Excited to be starting on some Not-Book paintings of #ordinarythings in preparation for my solo exhibition at the David Wright Gallery at Artsmill in Hebden Bridge May 2016!!….

Bathos

I recently came across the term ‘Bathos’

and think it describes the inspiration for my portraits of domestic artefacts rather well…

 ”BATHOS: the sudden appearance of the commonplace in otherwise elevated matter or style.”
