Today it was wonderful to join in the Printing For Enjoyment workshop, although most were focusing on Christmas prints I was experimenting in general and thoroughly enjoyed myself. The Timelapse video below outlined the process and I’ll include the individual images. I used a mix of backgrounds, tissue paper, procreate pens and gold leaf paint.…
Meet ‘Grace’ 84cm x 59cm (840mm x 590mm) mixed media on MDF. Throughout this blog there are themes that are beginning to clearly emerge for deeper exploration within this being human journey. This painting captures one of them, facing adversity. It is representative of a heart response to such experiences. This piece is part of…

I began these lockdowns with the full intention of having a free doodle hour per day. Just to map free flowing mind midst the chaos. However best laid plans and all. I instead have been working hard on an exhibition that you are invited to participate in just to offer some time out from what…
Having no idea what this ink was or what it was used for I’ve just been experimenting with different applications. Got some inspiration from a piece of art I found on Pinterest. I’m fascinated by the shadow, the other side of what we do not see or catch moments of reflections in. Not sure why…
