Have started to prepare work for my exhibition next February and the first piece of work I want to complete is some digital prints on Japanese paper. Well, I went into Glasgow Print studio to discuss whether it would be […]

Only three weeks into the residency and already behind with my blog! During week 2, I spent my time in the Local Studies Unit looking at archive documents, including the fascinating ‘Girls Clothes Book’ from the girls rescue home. It […]

On friday Julia Carver, the curator of the project came for a studio visit. I was so glad that Raphaella and I had hung the objects up last week as she got a proper sense of how its going to […]

I have recently started my own business, running an art gallery, providing art tuition, running craft workshops and after school clubs, and being an artist and undertaking commissions. All this is taking place whilst trying to balance family life, as […]

Here are some more images of my drawing/installation that I showed as part of Open Studios at Phoenix Brighton. I’d left the drawing for a while because it has been quite time consuming but felt as though in this context […]

I thought at the time I put this work in my studio that it was quite un-connected to my Nigerian based drawing but actually there are more connections than I previously thought. In fact after talking about the work someone […]

I sat in my studio space last night….stopped, but time is precious do something! I used some old paint left over from a monoprint I had done in the afternoon and slapped it on a canvas that I may know […]

I had my first visit to Frieze yesterday, and it lived both up, and down, to my expectations. I could never get there on previous occasions, either being away or too tied up with other things, and I wanted to […]
