Well what a weekend, Saturday was so busy I could not believe the number of people who came to the house on the trail. I was quite exhausted by the end of it and I even sold a few pieces. […]
I’m having trouble writing this morning. I barred myself from checking blogs and emails over the weekend because by the end of last week I had started to feel odd about this online world. Sometimes I struggle to get my […]
I have just given in my final work for my Photography BA. I can do nothing now but wait, and of course put up the three shows yet to run, but nothing I can do will affect my results. I […]
Days till Degree Show – 11 Today we started 'installing' in earnest. Luckily a plucky 2nd year Fine Art Photography student, who has an incredible talent for working hard was there to assist. The wooden supports for all the walls […]
I'm based in North Wales and I'm a painter and printmaker. My work to date has been generally based on the landscape. It is abstracted, although it contains narrative elements. I'm a member of the Regional Print Centre in Wrexham. […]

Today I made a discovery. The phrase work smarter not harder was made for people who can have clear thought. I have had jet lag for a week and now have two weeks to finish my final project, so can’t […]
OK. Comics… I'm getting there I'd been exhibiting my work for several years, landscape based, abstracted paintings and intaglio prints, and avoiding any overt medical subject matter, for fear of it coming out all… ewww, yucky, sentimental, melodramatic. I felt […]
So, I spent ages reading graphic novels and comics that I felt were relevant to medicine. My idea was that they might be of use as a resource for health professionals. We were all into comics as children, I'd read […]
The focal point for this park changed, due to practical (and probably financial) reasons. Anyway ……..I knew the low retaing wall that looked horrible was the place that it now had to be? There had to be a statement here. […]
Still . . . silence I have been researching in the last few days and found a new Tate Research Paper, Border Crossing by Felicity Allen which reflects on a Tate initiated partnership project called Nahnou-Together . The project started […]
To prepare for the second part of my exhibition, I have been collecting documentation of all my submissions to advertised opportunities. In the past the process of making applications has generated feelings of doubt, frustration and a general sensitivity to […]
This blog is about comics, narrative and medicine. The reason I've posted it on "Artists Talking" rather than, say, a comics site or a medical one, is that "graphic fiction" or "sequential art" (or whatever) is where I have found […]
Growing up in Liverpool in the 1960s I was surrounded by pattern. My dad was a painter and decorator and my mum was the manageress of a fabric shop. My weekends and summer holidays were spent at a caravan in […]
Sunday. Rain drips drops fall still; the silence of an inbox devoid of responses. Re-think; more and more and more ideas needed, to find another approach, and fast, in between the daily challenges of living, creating, being. speed is of […]
I feel a bit disappointed because I'm not going to get a still or a DVD of the filming that's taking place at work in school of pupils performing the action of chopping onions. I wanted a document that shows […]
I have chosen the floral dress as my vehicle for a nostalgic journey into my childhood. To remember a time when my mother made all my dresses and I enjoyed those light floral fabrics, which can still be revisited by […]
One floral dress was interesting but I was always taught that flowers and plants look better in three’s. For the other two dresses I decided to pull apart the more complex pattern of the ‘Floral Dress’ into its simple prints. […]
This weekend I’ve been a little disappointed that I couldn’t attend the Video Art Festival in Athens (too short notice), I decided to throw myself headfirst in to making some prints, which I’ve put off for a while. Mid print-run, […]
Well, another packed week- I'm multi tasking and simultaniously collaborating, all good, my heads rather full though, but rather it was full with this than anything else. Last weekend I met to work with ben, as ben and Holly- the […]
Further images from the first part of our weekend at artsadmin- exploration of materials and instructions. Setting tasks for each other and recording, filming or collaborating with each other on the outcome/response.
Degree Show Paintings
After a full on weekend with Ben, I spend the week focusing on a solo performance I have in a weeks time at The Junction in Cambridge. I have proposed a piece called, 'Everybody standing around sniffing the platform at […]
Setting up on friday brought unexpected delays which caused a us a bit of panic however the paintings were up and the installation, despite no title labels until the evening of private view. The private view was fantastic and a […]
Take heed by me. 'Always put your cement mixer on level ground' If I were a premiership footballer I would would get that tattooed on my inner forearm in Japanese. My cement mixer fell over, it was too heavy to […]
