Death Dreams and Desire – update
The Memento Collective exhibition looms ever closer and I have been imagining new work for my part. The installation is growing and new ideas emerge as I dig deep into my memories of the 1950's and my brief relationship with my maternal Grandmother- Ruby Daisy. Ruby was, to say the least, eccentric. From memory she …
Informing my practice…..
It's been a while - the past few months have been a blur - emotionally, physically, mentally. All the same really, all linked, all part of the same being. The fog or blur is beginning to clear- focus, let's hope it's not just a fleeting moment of clarity. I have been reading both fictional and …
Super excited about our upcoming exhibition………..
My research led me to an essay written by Freud examining a recurring memory of Leonardo da Vinci. Leonardo is cited by Freud..
Childhood Memories…or are they?
The idea that our memories of childhood or even recent events are as they seem or are they post memory -an interpretation based on our own experience of events mixed in with other influences such as recounted memories from others, photographs or similar incidents...... I am working on a project with the group 'memento collective' …
Delighted to announce…..
As a member of Memento Collective We have now launched our website (work in progress) but just to get it out there and give you a taste of what is to come and to introduce you to our members. We are working on a project which I’m finding very inspiring and which I can relate …

Becky's Bright Square Challenge- final post for April - here's the challenge from Becky : So if you have not already squared or have only squared once or twice this month, why not join us today. All that I ask is that your image has 4 equal sides, and that it reflects the theme of …
Bright Squares #29
Becky's BRIGHT Square Challenge April 29 This brings joy to me every year when the blossom turns to little red buds which slowly unfold into these stunning bright blue berries with red waxy petals. Amazing flowers and berries mono print based on my shrub

Bright Square Challenge April #26
Becky you were so right - it is addictive! Now I'm hooked again and glad to be back posting for your squares challenge. Your rainbow made me think of another phenomena, created at sunset. What do you think of this 'burning bright bush (tree)' 🙂 I even think there is a hint of a rainbow …
A Belated Bright Squares Post
A Bright Moment every morning ...my garden means so much to me and I have enjoyed every day as it has evolved and matured and become a wildlife sanctuary of sorts. Recently returned from its debut in Letchworth Windows Project....my 100 images of my garden over the years, the thing that brightens my every morning …
Promoting your art work
Social media platforms to spread the word, or visuals, a good way to promote your art work? I have many profiles with links to my work in the hope it will be viewed and possibly attract interest in some way. One site that I especially find useful is Zealous. This site provides a profile, projects, …
and here I sit one year later
who would have thought as I gaze out into my garden, with a sense of déjà vu, the snowdrops are withering and hopeful daffodils smile back, bright and sunny.
Critiques can be so helpful……what do you think?
A recent critique with my colleagues at Momento Collective has been so useful in re examining my art practice- posing questions such as my use of colour- or lack of use of colour. A couple of years ago I made a time lapse video following the tide patterns in a small cove over several days. …

This exhibition has been made possible by a collaboration of Artists at The Forge Digswell Arts and supported by the Broadway Gallery as part of the Letchworth Culture Project.
Back in the Print Studio
After a long break this year, in December I returned to The Forge Print Studio in Digswell. I must say I have thoroughly enjoyed working there again and especially loved seeing- at a distance- many colleagues and catching up with their work and plans for 2021. Still exploring the theme of time and place and …
Sunday- home and away……..
A grey November morning, but a day full of promise..... With plans for a day at the print studio and experimentation with oil paint and medium to play with...I have a new image I am recently haunted by, a chapel in Cornwall that looks more like a lighthouse, standing on a snowy hill. Yesterday after …
Working in the studio
Continuing with my plan to re purpose some old canvasses I spent Friday working in my studio again. I found a landscape I painted some years ago. At the time I made it my paintings were very minimal, made with layers of paint, scrim, hessian and various materials embedded in the paint. This would be …
Back in the studio
Inspired by the landscape and the gallery visits in Cornwall during the past week (and also after viewing the Maggie Hambling:Making Love with the Paint - you must watch)! https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m000nx23/maggi-hambling-making-love-with-the-paint I returned to my studio. My sort of loose plan to rework some old canvasses or maybe obliterate the old and layer a new image/work. …
As October draws it’s last few breaths so we gasp into November
Still here, still a survivor. On return from the relatively safe haven of Cornish air I consider 'what now' Inspired by the wonder in all that is Cornwall for me, the rugged coast, the open sea as far as the eye can see. Art abounds in galleries large and small, amazing and beautiful, thought provoking …
