Royal Berks

The Reading Guild of Artists are currently showing their 22nd Corridor Exhibition at the Royal Berkshire Hospital, running until 19th December 2015 in the Level 2 link corridor. Here is a close-up of 'Sunlight Through Blossom', my mixed ink drawing on show.

BookClub October

At BookClub this month, we looked at a wonderful selection of books, and I made a coptic bound notebook from mixed papers.

BookFace BookClub BookActivity

On Saturday, I ran a drawing activity at Bookclub. We made line drawings focusing on outline from objects, then we turned these into books. Here are the final books and a closeup of mine.

Crane Spotting

Today I went to the London Art Book fair at Whitechapel Gallery. So many wonderful books and prints! Time to do some of my own I think. Also, here are some cranes.

Books and Faces

Once again, I had a stall at Bookface on Sunday at the Rising Sun Arts Centre. It was a great day, there were prints, artists books and workshops (and much more) and I had lots of lovely feedback.

Thanks for N.W. for the photo!

Just a thing

This is a close up of a recent drawing. Glistening feet. Lovely.

Open for Art 2014

Today I took part of an open air art competition, organised by Jelly Reading.

I am thrilled to say that I won, based on the public vote. Well done to all who entered, it was a good atmosphere and nice to draw outside with other artists. Here are some photos of the shenanigans, thanks to R.K. for the photos.
