visual artist : observing the everyday, time and memory
I had fun last week making these cyanotypes in the garden. A bit hit and miss as the timings can vary depending on the sun. Sometimes they work out and sometimes they are not so great, but the unexpected nature of making art is what makes it interesting. I have signed up for some printmaking …

Work in Progress for upcoming group exhibition at Parndon Mill Harlow. Time Traces Transformation.
That initial thought 💭 that leads to a new body of work. Often a struggle - always a struggle - you grasp at an idea and it doesn’t always go the way you thought it would. I’ve spent (wasted) the past few weeks trying to master gelli plate printing- after several attempts and watching many …
It is that time -following a big project, time to reflect, time to assess. There is a goal post for next year - in May- June 2023 a group exhibition with five colleagues from Digswell Arts. But where to start? We have a three word theme to respond to : Time Traces Transformation. Some ideas …
Thank you to everyone who visited us at our exhibition 'Death, Dreams & Desire' which took place from 22nd September to 2nd October 2022. The venue was the unique Safehouse 1 in Peckham, London. Taking the ideas of Sigmund Freud as inspiration, we opened up new pathways of expression and thinking through a multitude of artistic media. From the haunting and self-questioning, the deathly and the curious, to the desire and the violence. All of the senses were stimulated through sound, film, photography, drawing, textiles and paint. We are proud to have shone new light on Freudian thinking and ideas.

It's been a while - the past few months have been a blur - emotionally, physically, mentally. All the same really, all linked, all part of the same being. The fog or blur is beginning to clear- focus, let's hope it's not just a fleeting moment of clarity. I have been reading both fictional and …
The idea that our memories of childhood or even recent events are as they seem or are they post memory -an interpretation based on our own experience of events mixed in with other influences such as recounted memories from others, photographs or similar incidents...... I am working on a project with the group 'memento collective' …
Social media platforms to spread the word, or visuals, a good way to promote your art work? I have many profiles with links to my work in the hope it will be viewed and possibly attract interest in some way. One site that I especially find useful is Zealous. This site provides a profile, projects, …
This exhibition has been made possible by a collaboration of Artists at The Forge Digswell Arts and supported by the Broadway Gallery as part of the Letchworth Culture Project.

Winter view of River Beane River Beane borders Hartham Common- the view from my studio at Dicker Mill. Some years ago the river was furnished with a new bridge, across the Beane, that joins Hertford via a pathway that leads all the way through to Ware. Video of the waterways of Hertford An interesting fact …
Back in the late 1950's I have a memory of a day trip to Southend. A day at the seaside always exciting but this was a really special trip - Dad had booked a trip in an aeroplane. The three of us in a tiny light aircraft flew around the Southend Airport countryside- with a …
Six Word Saturday bring back the sunshine - now please!
déjà vu moment here as I'm sure I posted a while back my favourite colour was greenish blue/blueish/green as an artist inspired by the landscape it's a range of colours that feature in my work. Black is also a colour that has been a constant in my everyday life, monochrome and minimal imagery, shades of …
