Studio time...

This is what I've been working on lately...

Cushions...

I've been working on a lovely commission to make this set of six cushions for a friend and colleague with impeccable taste!

For a bit of Wednesday inspiration have a look at these beautiful laser cut envelopes.

Summer round up...

I thought it was a good time for a summer round up, the last month has been quite hectic. We had a great trip to enjoy the sun and surroundings in France, a quick stop in Surrey to take a boat out on the Thames (something I had never done even though I was a student in Kingston for 3 years), visited family in deepest Herefordshire and got cracking on making new canvases in the studio. I'm full of inspiration and am looking forward to a long weekend in the studio with my paints. Hope to pop in and see some of the sights of the Preston Guild Festival this weekend too, there should be lots of exciting things going on.

Studio...

Very excited to say that I've got a new studio which I'll be moving into it from the 1st of August. It's in an old mill building about 5 minutes walk from my house, so couldn't be more ideal. It will be so nice to see all my work in one place for once.

(This picture isn't the view from the studio by the way, its from a trip we took to the Lake District a couple of weekends ago, although it would be an amazing spot for a studio!)
