I entered my studio today and find an unfamiliar smell, which i discover comes from a baby beaker full of off milk. I vaguely recall bringing it in last week. It’s been another week of illness with Abie up most […]

I am now planning the story and I am thinking about how it will begin. The lady has just moved in to the small town, and quite by chance they see each other from across the street. They stop and […]

Blue Paintings & Unwanted Detail   In these paintings I found that mixing colour is the part that takes the longest, and by applying many colours the painting takes far longer to complete. When analyzing the choice of subject I […]

My third short film draws from an artist statement I wrote that makes reference to Kandinsky’s ideas of the spiritual in art and how this has influenced developments in my own work.  The film’s title is taken from a phrase […]

New work from my Exeter studio.

Ongoing thoughts about a title for this collage… it is small so a “big, heavy” title will overwhelm it. Maybe it is ‘just’ a study anyway. I imagine I could use it as a sketch… Quite often I browse poems […]

I am trying to get in touch with the construction company to arrange a site visit to the road works – I want to get closer! I’m currently etching using hundred year old photographs of people in Clydach village and […]

I’ve recently been to hear Dr Elin Jones (Welsh historian) talk about women in history who should be more famous than they are, as part of the Abergavenny history society’s programme of lectures. One of the women had ‘letter writing’ […]
