Update: Vintage Fair & New Job!

I can't believe how long it's been since my last post!  It's been a busy time for me in the studio in the last few weeks as I prepared for a Vintage Fair at the Cedar Farm in Ormskirk, Lancashire.  It was a great day and I met a lot of lovely people and saw sooo many cool things I wanted!  I demonstrated phenomenal restraint and ended the day without making a single purchase, which was VERY difficult, as you can imagine.

I've also had a bit of good news: I have accepted a position as Curator at the West Ox Arts Gallery in Bampton!  I start on March 1st and already my head is full of ideas for exhibitions and events - I can't wait to get settled in! 

Featured in this print: my marvelous friend, Romayne, during our trip to Joshua Tree National Park.

In addition to all of that, I've been working hard on launching my new product: Nostalgic Prints. I personally think they're great and have a feeling you'll think so, too. To create these special Prints, I use the same transfer process used to make the vintage War Girls wall hangings which gives a really cool, aged look to modern photos. It's still early days, but I think they're really going to grow into something big!!

And, while I have yet to start working on it, I have an idea rattling around in my head for a new piece of artwork which will incorporate stuff that I've picked up on my walks with the dog. It's going to be another assemblage piece. More details to follow soon!

Speaking of walking the dog: Butler is by my side as I sit here typing this, begging me with his gorgeous amber-coloured eyes to take him out for a walk. So I'd better get going. I'll keep you posted on the artwork!
