I have several threads to what I do.  My practice is currently concerned with:

~ a postcard exchange project in which I’m responding to others work in postcard form and they are responding to mine.

~Intuitive painting, often quickly done on paper, canvas, wood.
~The destruction of writing.. what happens to it when its broken down

~’stone writing’ now being further developed

I’m occupied with:

>> Summer holidays with my son while still fitting in some time for my own practice in each day.

>>Planning the Young Open exhibition (with steering group) being run by the Framework organisation (I’m a director of this group) for September

>>Co-ordinating the ‘Paper Fields’ exhibition in London for October, a group of us (8) exhibiting.

>>Developing my own income stream (slow progress)

Looking forward to:

*My residency at The Print Shed in Madley starting soon.

*Working with Meadow Arts this year.

There’s so much to do and think about, being overstretched is a real danger.

One of my main weaknesses is doing things more easily for others  and outside obligations than for myself.

I have a very supportive and understanding husband and am 11 year old son, so holidays need careful managing to give son great holidays while continuing with my work.  I did manage this in 2013, but most of the time I had to myself was taken up with art admin (on the steering group of Young Open a group show in Sept).  With my further involvement in the arts this pressure on my time will only increase and I need to find a way to manage it better else I will not be able develop my own work.
