This little fragment of porcelain is from a collection of work I made a number of years ago.
I am now reconnecting to ceramics and returning to the theme of the goddess in nature, but maybe in a more abstract way.
My paintings are becoming for subtly coloured , but still with vibrant elements.

Recreate, recyle re invent

I came across this artist in Making magazine ....wonderful use of found objects, and a wonderful way of expressing a personal history.

Creativity is King

This is a great piece of cartoon , telling us why so many are out of touch with their creativity , and why we need to change the paradigm of education!
Happy watching !

fairies are FAB

I went to see a production called Fairies tonight at the Opera House London. It transported me to wonderful lands of beauty and make believe. The child in me was so happy !The dancers and puppeteers came out front at the end to show us their fabulous puppets..as seen above.
Treat yourself and go and see it!

Local Art

One of the great things about living in Whitstable is that you can be part of the open studios!
I have just finished 3 weeks of open weekends, showing my paintings and selling prints , and cards. This Boat painting was really popular , and many folk wanted to buy it but on this occasion I decided to keep it , as I find it a departure from some of my other ones.

Sometimes its good to keep a key piece of art for what it tells you about your work and its progress.

Birds

As I was in town today , I saw this beautiful bird on a wall paper, and I was inspired to go home and think about new ways to decorate my Xmas tree , which is a series of painted twigs !

Do you have any ideas that are unusual for decor too ?
