Preparations for a busy summer

I’m very busy preparing work for Printmakers of Scotland annual Festival of Printmaking at University of Stirling from 15 to 17 August and bound : unbound’s exhibition ‘On the Same Page’ at Upright Gallery Edinburgh 6-26 September.

I’ve also signed up to two workshops, one at Paintbox Art School and the other with Damian Callan. Both of these centred round the harbours at Cockenzie and Port Seton in East Lothian.
This week I’m drawing for a few hours at Redhall Walled Garden in Edinburgh.
So all go!

Fruitmarket Artists Bookmarket 2025

Find me on the bound : unbound table at this annual event in Edinburgh on Saturday and Sunday 15 & 16 February 2025. More details later and on gallery website. It’s always a fun and busy event with lots of artist bookmakers and visitors.

Then and Now Whose Gallery is it Anyway

Then & Now | Whose Gallery is it Anyway opened at Edinburgh Printmakers on Thursday the 19th April. Running until the end of June this exhibition is open to everyone who would like to take part. Visitors are asked to curate the show themselves, as they see fit. Anyone is welcome to bring along their own artwork and hang it and remove artwork. I put in a piece on the opening night but it’s probably been removed by now!

I’ll be exhibiting framed prints with 14 other Edinburgh printmakers in September. Info in image above. Later in the year I will have a wall of prints at Brick Lane Gallery in London. Details later.


At the Beach

My exhibition at Dungeness in Kent was a great success. Lots of visitors (and sales!). Plus I met some of my Instagram followers for the first time. Here’s a view through the window with two of my paintings on found wood. Top one sold.

My exhibition with husband Ron has now opened for three days at Dungeness Open Studios in Kent. Here’s a photo of the beach hut we’re using to show our work which is inspired by our visits to Dungeness for the past 8 years.

A New Project for a New Year

I’m working on a new project, an installation. Here’s a sneak peak at one of the prints I’ve made as an experiment before tackling the final pieces. The working title is High Rise.
