Here you can find out a bit about what I have been doing in my arty life and sometimes see news about where you can see my work.
Group exhibition
The show Life in Colour took place at Nicolls in the west end of Glasgow UK in May 2024, and I showed my work alongside Pascale Steenkiste and Elisabeth Grant. Check out their work - it is gorgeous. We all have different styles but love colour - hence the title of the exhibition. We ran the exhibition as a pop-up event over 3 days. We had an opening event on the Friday evening and then opened from 10-4 over the weekend. These are my thoughts about the exhibition:
First solo exhibition
It was amazing and deeply satisfying to set up my own show. I had a sequence of 23 paintings that followed willow herb through 3 seasons. It was almost an installation. I appreciated the body of work being shown together like that.
Developing Tenacity
4 years ago I started acrylic painting. I had been doing drawing and a bit of oil painting up till then but it was a weekend hobby at that point. I started doing daily walks during lockdown in spring 2020, and they initiated the inspiration for the works that have followed in terms of most of the paintings since discovering that acrylic painting was my thing. In May 2024 I’m doing an exhibition with my friends Elisabeth Grant and Pascale Steenkiste called Life in Colour. Its taking place on 24-26th May at Nicolls, Glasgow. It will include some of my work from the last four years, except for the recent Fireweed series.
