Setting up 18 studios, Long Eaton, Nottingham

The tickets for Chicago are booked. Alison and I will be drawing in the window of ‘Art on Armitage’ together. Alison is currently artist in residence at Thoresby Gallery and spends many hours observing, drawing and painting in the grounds of Thoresby Park… in all weathers and usually on her own. It will be quite a contrast to draw large scale in a window 15ft x 10ft x 27ins with a messy partner. We will be reflecting the cityscape of Armitage and its inhabitants through drawing. I will be introducing animals and birds indigenous to the British Isles . These anthropomorphic creatures will be a playful commentary on people – whilst the citizens of Chicago will be watching Homo Sapiens in the window.
