I’ve been in the Lake District all week, out walking in the hills every day, letting the richness of the landscape wash through me. The colours, the drama of ‘the Sublime’, the light (sun every single day!), but most of […]

Re-inventing the wheel. I have been using burnt umber to create shadows, I’ve been mixing it with blues it just works for me. Personel colour choices, that I know I can control and get the right result. Its almost orange […]

I spent the second week of Easter preparing cardboard collagraphs of trees for printing when I returned to college. I spent Tuesday and Wednesday this week printing the first and I intend to continue with this plate next week. I […]

Had a painful weekend, have somehow managed to crick my neck to such an extent that I can hardly move, happened Friday but eased off a bit, went out to a concert Friday night (had already paid for the tickets) […]

Knitted Month no. 2 I’m posting this way after the event, but in March I completed the second ‘Knitted Month’ – maybe this is going to become a series. Still working on the idea of making and unmaking an object […]

There is a great event I am missing next week (absolutely no time and not much money either), organised by Sophie Hope: Art & Labour Summit: Cultural Workers, Artists, Students, and Interns Meet to Organise, Name Names, and Coordinate Demands […]

This Wednesday night Nadja artists will be at The Late Shift, at the Sainsbury Centre in Norwich, from 6-9. We are trying out a new interactive installation, a collaborative work that we will make together over the evening. We will […]

OK, so I was expecting to be in New York tomorrow, but due to the current ash crisis, I will not be. Fortunately now, in lieu of being away, I have managed to catch up with a few things outstanding. […]

I can’t remember where this is quoted from, but it is apt for the stage my video sequences are at the moment: “Beauty is rearing its ugly head”. Indeed, the reason I was intrigued with these macro shots to begin […]

A five day absence…another busy week down! I started the week off by finishing five books and ruined my index finger in the process. On Tuesday I cried three times and had a panic attack but eventually, with the help […]

Four videos of seven minutes each playing on a loop. The viewer will have to stay with it for quite a while to see any change (probably longer than the average time a person gives to a video) but I […]

i’ve entered a controlled panic. always have liked walking into aroom and making a big statement. it’s the last few days of preparation prior to installing the work in the space. in controlled panic there is enjoyment in the process, […]

Clothed life drawing day Today i visited the mill arts centre in banbury for a whole day of clothed life drawing and painting of a model in a gypsy/ salsa theme. I always start with confidence and my sketches consisted […]

During the Easter break I have been working on four smaller canvases. In a smaller studio, with smaller brushes in shorter bursts of time. A timely gear change, it will be interesting to see them together with the other paintings […]

Paul from the Butterfly Park has been very busy promoting the Open Day, the Cheshire Wildlife Trust are now taking a table with us and we’re on the BBC Breathing Spaces site (you have to scroll down to the second […]

Back from a working holiday in France. The place we go to has had serious storms and floods, and a great deal of work has been done to start to rescue damaged seawalls, trees, dunes, field crops, salt marshes and […]

Day 2 back in tuesday, i left home nice and early with it being a long trek from Bangor and halfway there disaster struck! my car over heated on the dual carriageway, so i drove to prestatyn hoping it would […]

it is so nice to have a large blank wall to stick things up on and play with and just see your work with space around it, makes such a difference.. i forget how important physical space is for art […]

This might be considered a bit late to start writing about my degree show as I am pretty much there with what I am actually going to be exhibiting but that is subject to change when considering the amount of […]

FRIDAY It feels like it’s been a good couple of weeks. A productive day in the studio has ended with 4 pieces of work going out of the studio and into the house – to be lived with for a […]
