If you want a little preview of what’s coming up in my Oxfordshire Artweeks exhibition, check out my latest newsletter.  Only a few days to go!!

Oxfordshire Artweeks has started in Oxford so it is now just two weeks until it arrives here in North Oxfordshire!

I’ve been really busy over the last few months getting ready for my first Artweeks exhibition at Naomi’s Café Bar.  And I’m very excited by the new series of original mixed-media paintings I will have on show – all inspired by my own childhood memories of being allowed to draw on the walls when the house was being decorated.

I’m also inviting you to make your mark on Artweeks by putting your own creativity into a large ‘interactive’ piece I have created especially for the week.

My exhibition runs from 21 – 30 May (all the details here).  You can also see some of my work at The Mill Arts Centre in Banbury, Banbury Museum Shop, The Jam Factory in Oxford, and Oxford Town Hall throughout May.

I hope to see you then!

The countdown is on for Oxfordshire Artweeks, and before it comes to Banbury & the North of the county you will be able to get a preview of my work in Oxford.

I’m thrilled to have been accepted into the Artweeks Open Exhibition at the Jam Factory (running from 7th – 30th May) – make sure it is on your Artweeks trail.

I am one of 24 artists selected for the Jam Factory Artweeks Open Exhibition

If you know my work then you’ll know I often paint teddy bears.  So what better place for my artworks to be featured than Teddy Bear Times magazine?

It’s great to see my original paintings gracing the pages of this national publication.  And I must thank Rachel Prew Photography for bringing the article to life with her fantastic photos.

You can see more of my teddy paintings in my online gallery, and buy selected teddy prints and cards in my online shop.  And if you have a special teddy you’d like painting, just get in touch.

My teddy paintings are featured in the latest edition of Teddy Bear Times

I’m excited to say that I’ve submitted a piece into the Change the World Contemporary Art Competition….  I’ve done the painting, now I need your help with the votes!

‘Fresh Scribbles’ is a new mixed-media artwork, that I’ve painted to fit in with the theme of the competition.  Hopefully the painting speaks for itself, but I have written a bit of blurb about it alongside my entry if you want to find out more.

Please vote online here!  Thank you.

It’s March which means Spring is in the air and Oxfordshire Artweeks is around the corner!  The longest-running and biggest annual open studio event in the UK happens here in Oxfordshire every May.  This year I am thrilled to be part of it.

I’ve got lots more painting to do between now and then but am already buzzing with excitement.  North Oxfordshire’s Artweek is taking place from 21st – 30th May and I will be at Naomi’s Café Bar – Art & More for the week;  with an exhibition of my artworks, and painting on site.

Exciting times ahead, so put it in your diary ready!

Artweeks is in Banbury 21st – 30th May

I’ll delighted to announce that I have been selected as a finalist in the Networking Mummies UK Ltd National Business Recognition Awards.  I’m very proud that my original artwork has been recognised in the Product of the Year category.

I paint because I love to and it means a lot when other people love my work too.  You can keep up with all the news from the awards, taking place on 16th April, at #nmawards2016 .

I’ve been making a few updates to my online shop.  And I’m very pleased to say my popular Best Friends bunny is now available as a bag design.  So it’s happy shopping all round!

I had a lovely morning over at Puritans Radio last week.  Thanks to host Ian Gentles for inviting me in to chat on the Banburyshire Show.  If you missed it live, you can listen to the Podcast here
