Swindon Open Studios-SOS 2016 Begins This Weekend

Hello,

I'm back from the US now, after being away for most of the summer. So I'm busy getting ready for this year's Swindon Open Studios... It begins this weekend and if you are around the Swindon area, stop by and say hello. I will be showing new art and work in progress.

For more information and a peek at other artists who are also taking part, go to the Swindon Open Studios website. 

Bye for now.

New Group Exhibition

Hello,

Sorry for the long absence, its been a while since my last post. 

There is a new group exhibition which I wanted to let you know about-

Here are some pictures-

These two are mine.

I will be at the gallery this Saturday from 11-1:30 pm if you are in the area and fancy saying hello.

Bye for now.

Work at The Core Gallery, Old Town, Swindon

Hello,

Swindon has a new place where artists can display their work- its The Core Gallery; upstairs at The Core Swindon-a new juice bar and holistic lounge. The current group exhibition will run till 26th September. I have three mixed media canvases on display. They plan on exhibiting more art in the future. If you are in the neighbourhood, why not stop by and look at the work and also try one of their delicious shakes.

Bye for now.

Artsite Associates-"Autumn Salon" Show

International Women's Day-8th March 2013

Hello,

In honour of International Women's Day, Swindon is conducting special talks and workshops tomorrow as well as a group art exhibition at the Swindon Central Library which runs till the 20th March. You can find more information on it if you go to their website or the Swindon Open Studios website. I have two art quilts in the show. If you are in the area tomorrow, its worth a visit. I was there this afternoon taking photos of the work. Here they are:

 I thought I would also share with you one of my favourite women artists-

Self-Portrait, 1938; oil on canvas

I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best.

Frida Kahlo

I might blog about other female artists I admire during the month of March- stay tuned.

Bye for now.

Hello March and New Group Exhibition

Hello,

Thank goodness its March, I can't wait for Spring and warmer weather. We had some sun yesterday which was nice for a change, I went out with Jack and we had a nice walk. Hopefully we'll get more of these days; today seems to be shaping up nicely. I didn't have to wear my bulky winter coat to do the school run this morning.

I also wanted to mention that I have two paintings in a new exhibit which runs till the end of March. This is a group show highlighting various artists' works who are participating in this year's Swindon Open Studios. For more in formation go to http://swindonopenstudios.yolasite.com.

Here are some photos.
