dorset art weeks 2012

Back from London and straight into Dorset Art Weeks - bit of a contrast from London, but lovely to have an exhibition in my studio again. For a start, it means it gets a massive spring clean, wall paint and all the cows get to have their spaces on the walls rather than tucked away in bubble wrap in a corner.

I have an article all about me and my cows in Dorset Magazine this month which is very exciting for me (fame at last).  Hoping that lots of people come and visit me in my studio over the next few weeks. I am open on 26th/27th May, June 1st - 5th and June 8th - 10th. I'm also looking forward to going to visit some other artists in between opening days.

My cows visit Sherborne Castle in my Dorset Art Weeks exhibition!

More new cows

Moving House

We moved to Sherborne at the end of July, so now I have a new studio to work from. It will be great when I get round to sorting out some natural light - it's a bit like working in a coal bunker at the moment!

I'm beavering away in the coal bunker painting for the "menagerie" exhibition at Baxter's Gallery Dartmouth starting on October 19th. I will have eight new paintings - some old friends - "Aggie" and "Maurice" making an appearance in a different form.

A new project is underway as well - www.greencowcards.com

These will be new greetings cards printed on recyceld paper with vegetable based ink, using recycled envelopes and biodegradable cellophane bags.

New website will be launched soon and the cards will be available from September.
